Sustainability at Christmas: How businesses can celebrate smarter 

December 24, 2025

The Christmas season is a time of joy, generosity and togetherness. Offices are decorated, lights twinkle, and teams gather to celebrate the year’s achievements. Yet behind the festive cheer, businesses often face a hidden challenge: increased energy use, higher energy waste levels and a bigger carbon footprint

At Tyrrell Systems, we help businesses embrace festive cheer while staying eco-conscious with smart building solutions that help organisations reduce their carbon footprint.  

Here’s how Tyrrell Systems helps businesses make Christmas greener, smarter and more sustainable. 

Light your building responsibly 

Christmas lights bring warmth and sparkle to the workplace, but they don’t need to run 24/7. Tyrrell’s building management systems allow businesses to automate lighting schedules, dim displays after hours, and ensure festive decorations shine only when needed. The result? A joyful atmosphere without unnecessary energy costs. 

Reduce seasonal waste 

From office parties to packaging, Christmas often means excess. Tyrrell Systems’ IoT monitoring solutions provide real-time insights into resource usage, helping organisations identify where waste can be reduced. Whether it’s tracking energy spikes or monitoring heating consumption, smarter data leads to smarter decisions. 

Optimise heating during downtime 

Many workplaces close or operate at reduced capacity over the holidays. Heating empty offices is one of the biggest seasonal inefficiencies. Tyrrell’s intelligent HVAC controls automatically adjust heating and ventilation based on occupancy, ensuring comfort when spaces are in use, and savings when they’re not. 

A greener future, wrapped in festive cheer 

Sustainability at Christmas isn’t about cutting back on celebration, it’s about celebrating smarter.  

By using intelligent building solutions to monitor festivities, businesses can reduce costs, lower emissions, and hit their sustainability goals.  

At Tyrrell Systems, we’re proud to help organisations shine brighter, greener, and smarter… not just at Christmas, but all year round. 

Wishing all our partners, clients and colleagues a joyful, sustainable Christmas
