You might also want to consider
1. variable speed drive on pump drives.
2. Use of day/night auto switches for lights.
3. Use of a bigger % of clear sheeting on roofs to allow for more natural lighting for surface buildings.
4. Timed lightning systems for non critical areas, where lights will switch off in auto after say 30 min.
5. Auto shutdown for office machinery not in use for a certain period will help.
I hope this helps
Cheers

Power factor adjustment with capacitors can also be a big savings.
