Energy savings can normally be easily achieved in most buildings; Seneca recommend a variety of methods including zone lighting when refurbishing an office. By the introduction of a BMS system all areas of your building can be monitored and controlled effectively making large savings on energy bills. This system will take away the local controls whereas employees may constantly adjust the room temperatures causing the boilers to frequently cut in and out at which time they are often on full load and using the most energy.

With a lifetime of technical and practical experience across most industries we have the ability to create and implement systems and procedures to deliver a Green office approach to your business. These systems measure year on year material reductions and financial saving and can also be converted into impressive figures that we can all relate too, one example,

A large building in Hertfordshire with 1000 staff, achieved the following savings in the first year of the scheme, a 5% reduction in energy consumption, a 23% reduction in the procurement of white copier paper, a 60% reduction in the amount of waste generated, and a 66% increase in the paper-recycling rate. It is estimated that these figures translate to,

• saved about 5200 trees
• reduced the need for over 1600 cubic metres of landfill
• avoided about 1130 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions
• saved around 23,000,000 litres of fresh water

Adopting a Green office policy within your company will not only enhance the work place, but actively engage and motivate staff at all levels to become more dedicated employees.

Seneca can help set up a Green Office Initiative with the aim of increasing environmental sustainability within the workplace through the underlying principles of Reduce, Re-use, Recycle and Replace.
