Individual behaviour has a major influence on resource consumption. To make employees aware of the impact of their actions, an awareness campaign is ideal.
The details below provide guidelines for setting up a staff awareness campaign, to ensure responsibility and lasting commitment to the themes of energy, resources, and climate within the organisation.
Optimising the operating costs associated with the energy efficiency of your company’s building envelope
Much of the heating energy is lost through leaks in the poorly insulated or non-insulated building envelope. Improving the building envelope will therefore lead to considerable savings in heating and/or cooling requirements.
Controlling good ventilation and the operating costs associated with your company’s centralised ventilation system
The main function of a ventilation system is to ensure a pleasant climate and high air quality within the establishment. This need is associated with energy consumption (generally in continuous service) and must be used in the best possible way.
The heating installation: an important leverage point in the energy transition
The heat production unit is a major leverage point for a successful energy transition. As its primary purpose is to supply heat for comfort and operational needs, the heating system must be scaled to provide the temperature levels and necessary quantities to keep the business running. Nowadays, there are heat production systems that are adapted to each temperature level are flexible in terms of power and are environmentally friendly.
Ensuring efficient heating system performance in the workplace
The production of heat for premises and production processes represents a major cost factor. To reduce heating costs, This is why it is essential to ensure that the heating system operates correctly and is as economical as possible. This also includes all peripheral installations, heat production and distribution.
Faced with ever-dwindling water resources, using rainwater represents a responsible a sustainable choice. Rainwater is a sustainable resource that can be harnessed in many ways to reduce drinking water consumption and save money.
Implementing a rainwater harvesting system supports environmental objectives by offering an ecological and responsible alternative to conventional water use
This measure recommends strategies for the rational use of water in corporate facilities.
On average, water consumption per office employee is around:
30 to 40 l/day/employee
4 l/m2 of office space
These parameters are obviously highly dependent on the company’s business line, the facilities in the building and employee behaviour. Optimising water use in a building contributes to improving the environmental, economic, and functional sustainability of buildings.
Conducting a staff awareness campaign for the eco-responsible use of water
Deciding to commit to an eco-responsible water management policy in a company, or strengthening its actions in a sustainable manner in this area, requires the support and engagement of all employees.
Raising awareness is an important step in generating interest and motivating employees. It ensures that everyone understands the objectives and challenges involved, the role they have to play, and how they can contribute to the success of initiatives and the performance of actions implemented by their organisation.
