For businesses, reducing energy consumption also means lowering gas, electricity, and water bills. By consuming more sustainably, companies can address three major challenges: financial, with the rising cost of energy; regulatory, with the targets set by laws for reducing consumption; and environmental.
Today, Italian businesses and institutions involved in these challenges are working to adopt a long-term energy transition approach.
Several actions can be taken locally to save energy:
- Turning off lights in unoccupied rooms.
- Avoiding opening windows when the heating is on.
- Better managing electrical equipment, for example, turning off computer screens instead of leaving them on standby.
- Ensuring that equipment undergoes proper maintenance every year.
For these companies, the next step is to invest to continue these actions and achieve greater savings:
- Purchasing new, more efficient tools and equipment that consume less energy already represents a small initial investment.
The company can also undertake energy renovation projects. The goal is to focus on the most significant areas of expenditure to reduce consumption and improve performance.
These projects aim to minimize the need for air conditioning or heating by starting with building insulation and improving its ventilation system. They will ensure a reduction in energy consumption through insulation and allow, for example, the installation of less energy-intensive heating and air conditioning equipment.
