ISO 50001 - ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Using energy efficiently helps organizations save money as well as helping to conserve resources and tackle climate change. ISO 50001 supports organizations in all sectors to use energy more efficiently, through the development of an energy management system (EnMS).

ISO 50001 is based on the management system model of continual improvement also used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This makes it easier for organizations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management.

ISO 50001 outlines the best way to achieve energy efficiency, whatever the nature of your business. The standard will help you meet your environmental and carbon reduction targets as part of improved energy performance. It shows you how to take a structured approach towards measuring and monitoring how much energy you use – helping you to get more from less. ISO 50001 will pave the way to improved performance, lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions – all at the same time.

This new standard will establish an international structure to help manage the energy supply, uses and intake of industrial, commercial, or institutional organizations, which includes measurement, documentation and reporting, design and procurement practices for energy using equipment, systems and processes. ISO 50001 energy management standard is applicable to all aspects impacting energy use, and this can be monitored and influenced by an organisation.
