How we are striving to conserve Energy...

Energy efficient lighting systems -
o Remove unnecessary lighting
o Replace fixtures with T5 fluorescent, CFL, LED, etc.
o Utilise task lighting rather than whole room lighting in offices
o Balance lighting system efficiency with the promotion of circadian rhythm to ensure
health and well being of our residents
• Utilise energy efficient appliances and electronics, and set minimum ‘star-rating’ standards for new purchases.
Switching the lights off when not in use
o Reducing standby power: turning off computer monitors when not in use, and all
electronics at the wall
o Activating ‘energy save’ features on all electronics
o Turning off kitchen burners when not in use
o Monitoring excessive use of AC, and utilising fans and natural ventilation instead when reasonable. This will also serve to improve resident and employee health and wellbeing.
