OfficesBusinesses continue to increase and digitalize the number of electronic items used in the workplace. Combine the high number of PC’s and office equipment with items such as printers, photocopiers, snack vending, water dispensers, coffee machines and an increase in personal items such as phone chargers, local heating and cooling, compounded by poor user behaviour means that Energy Managers face a constant fight against rising energy use, carbon emissions and costs.
