The Importance Of Changes To Work From Home Customs In The Fight Against Carbon Emmissions.

It has been forecasted that in the region of 25% of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK are caused by energy use in peoples homes. With the focus for reduction in harmful emissions usually placed on other areas, in particular on transport, domestic energy use has to date been temporarily forgotten about as a may well with the constant increase in Working from Home as more and more people take up work from home opportunities, thus spending more and more time in their homes than ever before. Increased time spent at home increases domestic energy usage, so it can be foreseen that any rise in working from home will place more urgency on reducing home energy demand. The tendency to increasing consumption arises mainly due to the requirement to maintain the temperature of a property during cold spells of weather and Working from Home appears certain to mean that homes will have to be held at a quite constant temperature at all times. This is in contrast to|contrasts with[/spin] the usual domestic usage for the traditional office worker whose heating systems are thermostat controlled to allow houses to drop in temperature during the day, then be warmed just prior to the evening return home of the family. Quite apart from heating , those working from home will increase their energy consumption, because of the electrical equipment they will be using. In particular, PCs could be switched on for the whole of the day and additional office machines, for example printers, can only heighten the problem. By way of example, a modern personal computer can consume as much as 250 watts of power during regularusage.

In mitigation it is of course the case that employees who Work From Home do not commute and by and large travel far less than the rest of the workforce. It seems likely that working from home, on balance, cuts the carbon footprint of the home based worker. That said this should not detract from the need to pay more attention to household energy usage, and to persuade home based workers to give more consideration to further contributions they can make to these matters.

With heating being the biggest factorthis is probably the area where most savings can be made. It should be self evident that improving thermal insulation of the property will be beneficial, but a much more instant result can be had simply by re planning the use of heating during the day. It would be customary when working from home to occupy one room in the home, a home working study or home office. Thought should be given to confining daytime heating to this room only, rather than permitting theentire home to be heated. For comfort, daytime heating can be extended to kitchen and bathroom, but thatwould result in a significant saving. Modern central heating systems are normally kitted out with programmable thermostats to make this management verysimple.

Office equipment usage can also make a huge contribution. It’s the frequent custom in the majority of offices, home or commercial, that all machines are turned on at the start of the day and left on all day irrespective of the usage that equipment might receive. Working practices need to be improved so that rarely used equipment remains switched off until required and is instantly turned off after use. Photocopiers are usually low usage and great candidates for this approach. PCs tend to be in use most of the day, but their electricity usage is enough for them also to be turned off whenever not actually required. Even in standby mode all electrical appliances consume array of equipment whichneed frequent charging. Such appliances include mobile phones, laptops, etc. Chargers consume electricity when left plugged in, even when they aren’t being used to charge anything. It is a good idea to develop the habit of keeping re charging to an absolute minimum and to switching off all chargers when they aren’t actually charging anything.

People working from home make a significant reduction to greenhouse gas emissions by their reduced spin[commuting habits|transport needs[/spin]. But they should take matters further by helping cut emissions produced by their household situation.
