ISO 50001 is the international standard for an energy management system (EnMS). Its goal is to enable organizations to establish the systems and processes necessary to improve energy efficiency, leading to reductions in energy consumption, operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions. ISO 50001 helps companies systematically strive to improve energy management based on best practices.
The organization must establish an energy policy that defines its commitment to improving energy efficiency. The policy should be consistent with its business strategy.
Energy Planning
Identify and evaluate energy use and establish an energy baseline. The organization must identify areas of significant energy use and set targets and energy performance indicators (EnPIs).
Implementation and Operations
Implement action plans to improve energy efficiency. This includes operational management, employee training, communication and documentation of energy management processes.
Monitoring, Measurement and Analysis
Regular monitoring and measurement of energy performance indicators, energy consumption and other key parameters. Analysis of the data allows you to assess the effectiveness of your operations and identify areas for improvement.
Management Review
Regular reviews of the energy management system by top management to assess its effectiveness, compliance with energy policy, and achievement of set goals.
Continuous Improvement
The process of continuously improving energy efficiency by identifying and implementing corrective and preventive actions.
ISO 50001 certification
ISO 50001 is an internationally recognized standard and is used by organizations of all sizes and sectors. It helps companies not only meet energy management requirements, but also achieve sustainability through efficient management of energy resources.
