5 tips to reduce the use of energy properties commercial

Owning a large commercial property means managing a large space and inventory. Ever wonder how you can create a property with greater energy efficiency to reduce bills and increase profits? Look no further Today, we are discussing 5 tips to reduce the energy use of your commercial property!

1. USE NATURAL LIGHT

This may seem simple, but why not use free sunlight to help reduce lighting costs? By placing skylights or large windows in your building, you can not only reduce the amount of lights you need, but natural sunlight can heat your space organically!

2. PLANTS TREES

You may be wondering what trees have to do with energy efficiency. Planting trees on your property creates more shaded areas, helping to keep your building cool during the summer. Investing in shades for larger windows can also be a great help during the summer, so your building's cooling system is not working overtime against the heat of the sun.

3. INSTALL LED TECHNOLOGY

The next obvious step to reduce the use of energy in a commercial property is LEDs. LED installation is the fastest and easiest way to reduce your energy bill without a major construction overhaul.

4. USE OCCUPATION SENSORS

A great addition to the LED installation is the installation of LED occupancy sensors. In department stores or rear rooms that do not need constant light, occupancy sensors can save you more money in addition to saving LEDs. Now, your lights only come on when they are needed!

5. SWITCH TO SOLAR

The last big step you can take to reduce total energy consumption is to install solar panels. In the past, we have talked about the importance of installing LED lighting before solar panels, as this saves you money in the long term. By installing the LEDs first, you reduce your total energy production. When the time comes to install the solar panels, you will end up needing less solar panels to power your commercial property, thanks to the LEDs that reduce energy consumption!
