COST SAVINGS FROM DECREASED ENERGY USE

As the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy let to believe, is that the equipment that we use in our workplace accounts for the fastest growing use of electricity in the United States. Whatever your company do, whether your employees have made a concerted effort to shut off all the equipment at night, all those things will save energy. Energy can be saved up to 60 procent.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS FROM DECREASED RESOURCE CONSUMPTION

The use of paper each year has to decrease! Employees these days are way to generous in using paper. Reducing your company’s consumption of paper helps minimize the impact of the pulp and paper industry, which it considers one of the moste environmentally destructive industries in the world. Using recycled paper is a good thing to do in the business world. You will save seven trees and then I've not talked about the other elements that can be saved.

BETTER PRODUCTIVITY

Working in an office where the environment and the atmosphere is comfortable, you will be happier and will foster a better attitude about work. There has been a research about the fact that when the office moved to a new green building, the people were more productive. It increased by 10,9 percent since their work began on their new green office. Even when you haven't undergone a complete facelift, don’t underestimate the power of a sustainable workplace for your people.
