Here at ENERGY STAR, we love going green—and on St. Patrick’s Day, we know you can do more than just wear it. This year, spread the green all the way to your office! Here are our best tips to Green Your Cube, lower your building’s energy use, and avoid getting pinched.

  • switch to a green office graphic

    Flipping the switch on unused lights is a simple way to lower your building’s energy use, especially with more natural light from longer spring days.

  • Let it flow graphic

    Don’t forget air vents during spring cleaning—you can conserve energy by keeping them clear and letting them do their job.

  • Check your blinds spot graphic

    Make the most of natural light by adjusting the blinds according to the weather. You may even spot a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow outside your window (gold from the lowered energy bill, that is).

  • Skip the space heater graphic

    Does your office stay cold even as the days get warm? Bundle up, and don’t make it a reason to use more energy. 

  • Don't look so surprised graphic

    Going green isn’t about luck—you just need smarts. A smart power strip keeps your electronics organized and your office energy efficient.
