Energy@Work’s 6th annual holiday challenge is coming up! This challenge presents the opportunity to discover how much electricity can be conserved over the holiday period. Operations and tenants can work together and save electricity since offices typically have a much lower occupancy over the holidays which presents the opportunity to cut waste- particularly phantom power.
If you have not participated, you are very welcome to join in:
There is no cost or expectation. Individual results are not disclosed since the purpose of the challenge is to have fun by raising awareness of, and mitigate, electricity waste over the holidays. This fun video is free and can be shared with tenants and occupants!
Common areas of opportunity include:
plug load or what is commonly called “Phantom Power”
- this is a huge opportunity!systems continuing to run when not needed,
lights, particularly accent and interior lobby lighting,
TV screens and monitors have off switches which are rarely used in lieu of standby mode,
exercise equipment “in the ready mode’ but sitting idle.
This year’s challenge will occur between:
1) 6:00 PM Friday, December 22nd, 2023
and
2) 6:00 AM Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024.
Feel free to join us and share this quick video to find out what all the fun is about.
