It is essential to know and monitor how frequently large appliances are being used. Electric ovens, cooking machines, boilers, space heaters, have the highest energy consumption. They may be required to work at different temperatures and for different amounts of time. Keep in mind that a higher temperature and a long operation means a high consumption. For a business centered on selling food, the whole food production chain may have to be studied to determine what could be done quicker or with less heating. Sometimes, there may not be easy solutions that would not compromise quality, variation or appeal. | It is essential to know and monitor how frequently large appliances are being used.

In the case of office activities, especially for mid-sized areas, computers, servers and auxiliary equipment have a very large impact on electricity consumption. Distance working and non-standard schedules requires all computers to be turned on, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and this creates a constant important electricity demand. Making sure that employees willingly turn off their computers or there is a policy that is imposed by the administration may have a major effect. | In the case of office activities, especially for mid-sized areas, computers, servers and auxiliary equipment have a very large impact on electricity consumption.
