Leaving mobile phone chargers plugged in when they are not actually charging wastes energy too; 20 people
plugging in only when they are actually charging represent a carbon dioxide saving of a whole tonne over
a year.
Taking care to maintain equipment properly, heating equipment in particular, will result in
significant improvements.
There are also considerations for companies in the manufacturing sector, to rationalize and optimize the energy
consumption of electric motors; a single 2.5kW motor running at full capacity will save £300 per year compared
to a 10kW motor running at 25 percent, or reducing the speed of a motor by just 20 percent can produce
energy savings of 50 percent.
