In the future, further analysis of actual energy consumption of equipment and lighting through exact localised monitoring would be needed in order to have an access to more accurate consumption data. Practical recommendation for office organisation could be to organise their end-user electricity management, at least in the organisations occupying large amounts of office space, just like any other multi-million euro operation in the company. In addition, for those companies that have environmental objectives, the end-user-energy management could offer a cost-effective way for complying with their targets. Finally, the smaller companies could start to improve their end-user energy management as well, if the suggested [euro]2 per m 2 business with 20 per cent profit would comprise a meaningful improvement for their business.
