ISO 50001 Energy management

Energy Management is a well-documented and systematic way to reduce a company's energy consumption.

The key elements of ISO 50001 - energy management:

• Energy policy
  Management must commit to continuously working on improvements. It is absolutely essential that management adopts an energy policy and an objective for energy work.
• Planning
  During the planning phase, energy consumption is mapped out. Energy projects are to be identified, and objectives and action plans are set.
• Implementation and operation
  Resources are allocated, projects are implemented, energy-efficient purchases are made in relation to operation and maintenance.
• Check and correct
  It is important to check energy work continuously by measuring, monitoring, and following up on deviations with corrective actions.
• Management review
  A vital element of energy management is management's annual review. This helps to anchor the work in the organization and helps to ensure momentum. Management must initiate continuous improvements.
