We are constantly seeking ways to reduce our environmental footprint. Something as simple as looking at the amount of energy we use in our stores can allow us to make better decisions.
Most of the energy expended in Best Buy stores comes from the heating and cooling system. A one-degree difference wouldn't likely be noticeable by most customers and employees, yet it saves over 11 million kilowatt hours of energy. So our energy management and environmental affairs teams work with retail employees to find ways to save energy while maintaining the best customer experience.
A central Energy Management System controls all lighting, heating and cooling in U.S. stores, saving about 85 million kilowatts of electricity every year. That's enough to power around 9,000 U.S. homes for one year!
Geek Squad® also offers phone support and online support to minimize the amount of fuel we would expend driving to in-home service calls. This also makes it convenient for you and reduces your need to bring your electronics into a store.
Still, we know we can do more. Let us know if you have any ideas to help us maximize power efficiencies.
