Energy-efficiency is an important pre-requisite in offices today, where you are working in a coworking office space or not. If you are working in one of the business centres in India, it helps to know that energy-efficiency is crucial because it saves costs and resources, and safeguards our environment. Read on for some tips to achieve energy efficiency.

One of the most common sensical yet often forgotten tips is to switch off and unplug all electrical gadgets before leaving. If a device has an energy-saving or power save option that you can use during idle work hours, then you should use it.
Still using desktops? Forget about them; instead use your laptop at the coworking office space. Laptops use nearly 80 per cent lesser energy than desktops.
How about using solar energy? Business centres in India can make use of the solar energy to cut down power bills and also leave a smaller carbon footprint.
Cut down on usage of paper. Try converting your office into a paperless one. You could instead try messaging or email. Avoid taking unnecessary prints; if you do have to, use both sides of the sheet for printing. Reuse any paper you can in ways possible. You could give you paper to a recycling unit.
You can reduce carbon footprint by carpooling to work or even biking. Within the office, you could take the stairs to avoid unnecessary use of elevators.
Considering buying office infrastructure? Buying used furniture can lower environmental and financial spending. You could recycle boxes or material like old CDs and floppy disks into office storage boxes/stands/holders.
