Relocating to new offices is a great opportunity to kick off green habits in the workplace

Most offices try to implement a certain level of energy saving across their office, especially as a money saving initiative to keep overheads low and running costs down. But have you thought about how moving office could be the perfect time to bring in a whole new set of habits to make your work place greener without any extra effort?

It really is about being energy aware and getting into energy saving practices as a matter of course. Just a few months of the new changes will save you money without adding any extra stress onto your workforce. After all, saving energy has much wider implications that stretch far beyond corporate responsibility and cutting the cost of your bills – you’re doing your bit to be environmentally friendly.

So why is your office move the perfect time to go green?

Firstly, you’re making a new start so your staff will be open-minded and ready to adapt to any new changes that are brought their way.

If you are having a fit-out you might wish to choose systems that save energy through low-power lighting or water recycling.

You will be in a new environment, so it’s an ideal opportunity to bring in new recycling points or cut out unnecessary paper storage.

You may wish to familiarise staff with the new changes and discuss ways in which they can participate in energy saving about the office.
