How to minimise your CO₂ footprint at the office

Change begins at an individual level. With the growing recognition that sustainable actions are crucial for our future, the importance of lessening our personal CO2 footprint cannot be overstated. Studies reveal significant potential for CO2 emission reductions, particularly in larger buildings, where over 40% of emissions are influenced by user behaviour. By modifying these behaviours, the positive impact becomes evident swiftly. Here's a guide on strategies and tools to help lower the CO2 footprint in offices or for building owners.

Highlighting Energy Consumption

For occupants to comprehend and address the repercussions of their actions, they need to witness tangible outcomes. Take, for instance, the TROEF community platform launched by BAM Energy Systems. This innovative platform allows users to share energy insights, monitor their CO2 footprint in real-time, and earn rewards for smart energy use. By offering user-centric and real-time data through its dashboard, it motivates participants to consistently enhance their energy habits, teaching them to use energy more judiciously.

Leveraging Intelligent Sensors

Managing an optimal indoor environment in larger buildings, while maintaining sustainability, can be daunting. UMC Utrecht once faced this predicament. They sought clarity on temperature, CO₂ levels, and humidity in their work and meeting areas. Collaborating with TwynstraGudde, they crafted a dashboard equipped with sensors that harvested comprehensive data. Presented in a user-friendly format, this data empowered TwynstraGudde to offer tailored solutions, enabling UMC Utrecht to enhance their building's environmental impact.

Taking Incremental Steps

The digital revolution significantly influences workplace sustainability. For instance, despite the rise of digital tools, paper remains a prevalent waste product. By opting for digital storage, printing only when indispensable, and embracing recycling, you contribute to a greener workspace.

Were you aware that since 2022 we've been a Paris Proof Partner with the DGBC? Our commitment is to slash our energy consumption by two-thirds and concurrently decrease the related CO₂ emissions. Together, we sculpt a sustainable future. What measures are you enacting for a greener tomorrow? We're eager to explore sustainable opportunities tailored to your establishment.
