People Power: Build an Energy-Smart Culture

Post a monthly kWh goal near the coffee machine and celebrate progress. Use playful reminders at switches and thermostats. Share a photo of your best sign; we’ll feature it and suggest a morale-boosting milestone.

Operations Tweaks That Add Up

Schedule for Efficiency

Batch high-energy tasks and align them with staffed hours. Avoid running equipment for tiny jobs. Tell us one process you can consolidate, and we’ll help estimate the run-time reduction and annual savings potential.

Compressed Air, Refrigeration, and Motors

Fix leaks, defrost coils, and verify motor belts tension. A quick leak walk can uncover major waste. Post one piece of equipment you maintain, and we’ll share a three-step micro-checklist tailored to your setup.

Kitchen and Break Room Habits

Unplug seldom-used appliances, label power switches, and set dishwashers to eco modes. A simple ‘last out’ checklist prevents overnight waste. Request our printable list, and tag your team when you complete your first week flawlessly.

Measure, Improve, Repeat

Use kWh per square foot, per shift, or per unit produced. Choose one metric today and stick with it monthly. Comment with your chosen KPI and we’ll suggest a realistic target for the next quarter.

Measure, Improve, Repeat

Create a one-page dashboard, review it in standups, and highlight one win each week. Visibility builds accountability. Share a screenshot of your dashboard draft and we’ll suggest a clean, readable layout for your team.

Measure, Improve, Repeat

Pick one new action every two weeks and measure the impact. Keep unsuccessful trials; they teach fastest. Subscribe for our experiment templates and tell us which idea you’ll pilot next so we can cheer you on.
