20 March, 2024

Did You Know? 

Earth Hour, an annual global event, reminds us of our responsibility to protect the planet. When we participate in this event, we show our commitment to conserving energy and reducing our carbon footprint. But did you know that small changes in your daily routine can help save energy and extend Earth Hour's impact beyond just one hour? Here are some easy tips from Facilities Management:

  • Adjust Your Thermostat: Set your air conditioner to 23°C (73°F) for comfort and energy savings.

  • Use Natural Light: Turn off lights and let in natural light through curtains or blinds during the day.
  • Unplug Idle Electronics: Disconnect electronic devices when not in use to prevent energy wastage.

  • Switch to LED Bulbs: LED bulbs are energy-efficient and long-lasting, reducing energy consumption.

  • Carpool or Use Public Transit: Share rides or use public transportation to cut down on pollution and fuel use.

  • Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Practice the three Rs to conserve resources and save energy.


These small changes can make a big difference not only during Earth Hour but every day. By adopting energy-efficient habits, you are helping create a more sustainable and greener future. Facilities Management reminds you that every effort counts in preserving our environment for generations to come.
