Initially the team focused in on equipment which used a lot of electricity and set about learning how best to utilise the technology.To do this we conducted an energy audit and began to record the electricity use of equipment and keep accurate records.

The next step was to examine the behaviour of the staff and how and when we used electricity,could we change the way we worked and be more consious of how we used electricity.
