Many new organisations are building new buildings that are ‘green’ friendly!  We have some delegates from ABSA who are currently moving into their new ‘green’ building!

There should be the following in the office:

• A energy control committee
• Energy audits
• Conservation goals (green technology)
  • Heat generated by various sources is recycled
  • Solar energy may be utilised
  • Temperatures in public, non-work areas such as hallways and lobbies can be reduced or increased
  • Lighting and heating can be reduced or eliminated in non-used areas
  • Use of external daylight can reduce the need for internal lighting
  • Heating and cooling equipment can be kept maintained for optimum efficiency
• Green computing – using computing resources efficiently e.g. materials recycling e.g. printer cartridges, batteries etc.
