ISO 50001 Energy Management focuses specifically on the proactive and systematic monitoring, measuring, evaluation and control of energy consumption to improve the energy efficiency – and subsequent cost efficiency – of an organization’s operations. It builds on the management system model of continual improvement; you may be familiar with this model from more foundational standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
The purpose of this standard is to facilitate the integration of energy management into their wider quality and environmental management objectives. It includes developing procedures for better energy efficiency using clear targets and objectives; data analysis to unlock key insights into energy use, facilitating decision making; and measuring and interpreting results to facilitate continual improvement of the energy management system.
If you are an organization with over 250 employees, having an ISO 50001 certificate will also make your compliance with the ESOS scheme much simpler. All you need to do is show your certificate!
Benefits of ISO 50001:
- Creates transparency on the utilisation and efficiency of energy resources. This is especially important given the increasing importance of energy efficiency to interested parties.
- Reduced environmental impact.
- Lower costs as energy is being more efficiently utilised, thus reducing energy costs.
- Better understanding of how energy is being used within a company to facilitate future continual improvement to the energy management system.
- Increases staff awareness of the importance of energy management and efficient energy usage to the company and its wider objectives.
- Automatic compliance with the ESOS scheme.
