B.12.a Energy Usage
Recommended and Highly Recommended Practices
It is highly recommended that companies: Ensure equipment, lighting, air-conditioners, and heaters are turned off when the space is not in use. For the HVAC, when the space is not occupied but local climate conditions would require more energy to restart the process in order to restore temperature to the space when it is again occupied, Instead of shutting off the cooling, adjust the cooling to no lower than 28 degrees Celsius or 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Alternatively, rather than shutting off the heating, adjust the heating to no higher than 17 degrees Celsius or 62 degrees Fahrenheit. Otherwise, when the space is occupied and air conditioning is in use, set air-conditioners to no lower than 24 degrees Celsius or 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Operate energy efficient rated monitors, projectors, equipment, and appliances. It is recommended that companies: Consider retrofitting inefficient HVAC systems. Use energy-efficient (LED or better) lighting within their manufacturing, warehouse facilities, and administrative offices, to reduce power consumption. ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Use light sensors within their manufacturing, warehouse facilities, and administrative offices, to enable automatic light management and reduce light when it is not needed (e.g., because of high levels of natural light, or non-occupied areas). Implement energy monitoring tools to track and analyze energy consumption within their manufacturing, warehouse facilities, and administrative offices.

Companies may: Endeavor to switch to renewable energy sources. ☐
Consider phasing out gas and fuel oil and replacing them with heat pumps in facilities. Consider creating rooftop gardens as they can insulate buildings while providing local foods and restoring biodiversity.
