Building a new Office?
Here Are Some Energy Efficient Strategies That Can Help You

When building a new office, you should get everything
planned from the foundation to the roof. Simple designs are getting popular
these days, as well as energy efficiency.

Energy efficiency should be an important element when
planning to build or renovate an office. Aside from reducing your energy bills,
it also helps reduce greenhouse gases every year!

So, how can we lessen the cost of electricity? Check out
these tips and add it to your plan:

Insulation

Insulation acts like barrier that reduces heat flow between
walls and ceilings. It is affordable and widely available. It makes your office
cooler during summer and warmer during winter. Aside from that, it promotes a
healthier work environment by managing moisture and preventing mold. Another
good thing about insulation is that there are certain types of it that can
reduce noise pollution.

Ventilation

This is another important factor in having an energy-efficient
office. When it comes to ventilation, there are air sealing techniques that can
reduce air leakage. Proper ventilation can also maintain air quality and remove
excess moisture. There are different ways you can ventilate your office using: natural ventilation, spot ventilation, and whole-office ventilation.

Heating

As we talked about insulation and air sealing to reduce heat
flow, another way of keeping an office warm is to use heating. Now, there are different types of heating options out there. However, some of it can increase
our consumption of energy. So, what options do we have for a more
energy-efficient heating? The most efficient office heating system is the solar
heating. Installation is affordable, and the energy consumption is free.

Windows and Doors

Putting in energy-efficient windows and doors are important
because it reduces heat loss which means fewer draughts and cold spots. It also
insulates the office against external noises as well as reduce condensation. It
is a good investment that can save money on a long-term because it performs
more efficiently and can reduce heating and cooling costs.

Plants

A well-planned landscape can help reduce costs by as much as
40 percent. Carefully positioning shade trees, shrubs, vines, and groundcovers can
cool us down during summer, while windbreaker trees and shrubs can help trap
heat and reduce wind velocity during winter. Depending on location, we need to
know which native and adapted plants are available for us to do this and always
avoid planting invasive species.

As discussed in this article, an energy-efficient office can
help you lower energy cost in the long run. Investing on the materials needed,
we can be sure that we can achieve this. When it comes to 
access doors, we need
to make sure that we get the ones that are insulated and airtight like BA-ADWT-SS Airtight Watertight Stainless Steel Access Doors to add more
energy efficiency to our offices.
