Energy is mainly used for lighting, heating and cooling, computers, monitors, editing equipment and meeting spaces. Creative studios may also use high-load gear such as lighting rigs, photography equipment and production tools.
Bills often rise during summer and winter due to increased HVAC usage. Longer working hours, production schedules and equipment-heavy tasks can also cause periods of higher consumption.
They can reduce costs by comparing plans regularly, upgrading lighting, switching off unused equipment, managing air conditioning settings and ensuring contract terms are reviewed before expiry.
Large businesses have higher usage from extensive HVAC systems, lighting across multiple floors, IT infrastructure, editing suites and equipment that runs for long hours. Concurrent operation of these systems increases demand charges.
They can align contract end dates, monitor usage by location, review tariffs, upgrade old equipment, optimise HVAC settings and use energy insights to identify peak demand periods. This helps reduce costs across their entire portfolio.
