Efficient energy management is a priority for organizations, not only because of its significant potential for reducing costs, but also because of its role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
An energy management system based on ISO 50001 is an integral part of an organization’s overall management system which aims to establish the systems and processes needed to improve the organization’s overall energy performance, including energy use, consumption and efficiency. This international standard applies to all organization types and sizes, regardless of their geographical, cultural and social conditions.
This standard has a high level of compatibility with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, thus allowing for integration with these or other existing management systems.
The standard does not establish any energy performance requirements, but it does provide a set of requirements and support methodologies for organizations to set their objectives, continuously improving their performance.
