General advice (Nielsen and Dyck-Madsen 2006)

• switch to energy efficient luminescent lightbulbs
• check the timer on your circulation pump - alternatively, replace with an energy-efficient pump
• check that all appliances are completely turned off - especially chargers
• turn on only appliances in use
• purchase the most efficient appliances

Advice on lighting (Jacobsen 2002)

• switch off unnecessary lighting. Install timers and light and motion sensitive equipment.
• paint walls and ceiling with light colours. Also reduces discomfort from glare and light trespass.
• Choose the correct lighting. Use appropriate workplace lighting.
• Use halogen lighting for impact lighting, rather than area/flood lighting.
• Use high-frequency flourescent lighting, "HF". They have longer lifetimes and reduced flickering.
• Exploit daylight using automatic light sensitive monitoring.
• Regular maintenance.

Standby advice (Jacobsen 2002)

• Turn off all equipment when not in use.
• Install automatic slumber mode where possible.
• Turn off screens when absent for longer periods.
• Purchase appliances marked with "Energy Star" or equivalent.
• Choose flatscreens.
