Description
Turn off the lights when you exit the office in the evening for the night. If no one is at work to need the lights, energy is wasted and the life of the bulb is being consumed.Assumptions We Made
Only control one light, in individual workspace. Turning off single light with 32 Watt bulb (e.g., bulb at desk), out of office for 16 hours in a day. You would reap additional savings beyond our projection if a higher wattage bulb is in your fixture, if multiple fixtures are typically left on, and if you are out of the house longer hours.Impacts
