Everyone is all about “going green” nowadays. A lot of individuals are turning to recycling and saving energy in any way they can. This is all on an individual level, however. So how do big businesses, those who are usually guilty of having high carbon footprints, cut down on their use of energy? “If a building pulls electricity from the grid, burns oil or natural gas, or uses products and services, the building has a carbon footprint,” says Eric Taub in a magazine article, Carbon Footprint Gaining A Place on the FM Agenda. Many companies do not generally have their employees working in the office all of the time and therefore, do not need to have a lot of office space.

Deskflex, a hoteling software, allows for companies to rent things such as conference rooms, desks, car spaces, and hotel rooms. This allows companies to reduce their carbon footprint because they are only using the space when they need to. Companies can thus save on electricity and other such things that increase carbon footprints and reduce carbon emissions. So, for example, if a company employs 100 individuals and only 50 of those employees have to be in the office at a given time, the company can rent out a space just for those individuals. There is no need to have a huge office space for the rest of the employees who will not even be there. Deskflex allows companies to use this feature and hopefully be a step closer to a greener environment.
