- Set clear targets: Whether it is reducing consumption by 10% or achieving net zero by 2030, having a measurable goal keeps your efforts focused.
- Engage your team: Energy management is not just a job for the facilities team. Encourage employees to suggest ideas and take ownership of energy-saving initiatives.
