INTRODUCTION
Sustainability is an important aspect for any organization because it helps it in attracting a
greater number of customers (Dai and Yang, 2020). This is because customers are increasingly
becoming conscious about the environment as well as the harm that is caused to it. Sustainability
improves the quality of the products and preserves the natural resources for the future
generations. ICT or Information and Communications Technology refers to the different
communication technologies. These include the internet, different wireless networks, computers,
software as well as social networking (Fonseca, Abreu and Silvestre, 2021). The respective
report provides an explanation of the different strategies that a company can take in order to
reduce power consumption. The report also includes an energy audit on two options of a PC,
laser printer and server package estimating the CO 2 emissions for these devices in a year and
provide a comparison report summarizing potential energy savings and financial costs.
MAIN BODY
Strategies the company can take to reduce power consumption
Consumption of power is an important aspect for any organization that has to be taken
into consideration by organizations (Krause and Hawkins, 2021). This is because it helps them in
saving costs as well as other expenses related to power consumption. There are different
strategies that an organization can implement in order to reduce power consumption. For
instance, the employees within the workplace should be encouraged to turn-off the lights when
they are not in use and instead try using the natural light (Macellari and et.al., 2021). Apart from
this, by having the home windows and skylights clean, you can cut the amount you spend on
lighting. If you're operating in a single a part of a room, isolate the lighting fixtures to that
location handiest. Label switches so your body of workers handiest turn on the lighting they
want, and turn them off absolutely at the quit of the work day. You may also remember putting
in occupancy and sunlight hours sensors to turn the lighting fixtures on and stale robotically. By
switching your present lighting fixtures to a greater green light system you can get sizeable
annual savings (10 Great Ways To Reduce Power Usage In Your Business, 2021). When
shopping PCs, monitors, printers, fax machines and copiers, keep in mind ENERGY STAR
fashions that strength down after a person-targeted length of state of no activity. If appropriate,
use inkjet printers – they consume 90 in keeping with cent much less power than laser printers.
