Energy conservation and efficiency is an ongoing focus at AtSite. This includes tracking our energy usage, performing aggressive preventive maintenance and managing with the best practices of ASHRAE and LEED EB O&M. We are continually working to reduce energy consumption and the carbon footprint of our managed facilities.

For Tenants

• Switch to energy efficient light bulbs, which use up to 75 percent less energy and can last ten times longer than incandescent bulbs. (Be sure to dispose of fluorescent bulbs properly.)
  
• Use less light when working to conserve energy.
  
• Turn off lights, computers, and office equipment when you leave each night.
  
• Put equipment on power strips and turn them off nightly to eliminate wasted energy used by idle equipment, which often still draws power.
  
• Conserve energy and save on costs by keeping your thermostat set at 68 degrees in the winter and 76 degrees in the summer.
  
• Install high-efficiency Energy Star rated appliances and use Energy Star computers and equipment where possible.

Indoor Environmental Quality: Overview

Indoor environmental quality is a critical component of green buildings. Numerous studies have confirmed the effect of the indoor environment on the health and productivity of building occupants. Ventilation, thermal comfort, air quality, and access to daylight and views are all factors which play a role in determining indoor environmental quality.
