Timing & automation
Install timers on compatible heating and cooling appliances and vents, lighting and equipment
This will allow you to only switch them on when required - reducing wasted energy use. Don't forget to adjust these times when the building is unoccupied (e.g. public holidays). Alternatively, motion detectors is another good way to automatically start or shut down heating or cooling appliances or lighting depending on whether the area is being used or not.
A lot of the latest appliances are now smart enabled. This makes it easier for you to automate your on/off timing schedule on your favourite device. Consider this when you're planning to upgrade.Appliances/machinery
