Empowering AV Professionals with Actionable Strategies for a Greener Future
The Sustainability in AV (SAVe) Committee on Sustainable AV Design and Installation proudly announces the release of its comprehensive guide, “A Guide to Sustainable AV Design and Installation.”
“We are thrilled to provide a pioneering resource that provides AV professionals with actionable strategies to minimize environmental impact while enhancing efficiency,” exclaims Christina De Bono, Founder and President of SAVe. “The Guide to Sustainable AV Design and Installation is a culmination of efforts by industry experts in AV design, engineering, and integration.”
Promoting Sustainability Across the AV Industry
As sustainability takes center stage globally, the AV industry holds a pivotal role in driving responsible consumption and production.
This guide empowers technology integrators with best practices that align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. It emphasizes principles such as:
- Selecting environmentally responsible brands and products.
- Reusing and repurposing existing AV equipment.
- Prioritizing energy efficiency and multifunctional solutions.
- Minimizing the use of excess cables and components.
- Implementing automated shutdown and preventative maintenance protocols.
A Commitment to Practical Solutions
The SAVe guide outlines methods to evaluate manufacturers’ sustainability efforts and highlights technologies that reduce waste and energy consumption. For instance, integrators are encouraged to adopt all-in-one components to decrease power usage and select technologies like HDBaseT to streamline installations. Thoughtful considerations like reusing equipment and choosing energy-efficient designs demonstrate the industry’s potential to significantly advance sustainability.
