Energy Management System ISO 50001

According to the definition stipulated in ISO 50001 standard, energy can be in various forms, such as electricity, fuels, steam, heat, compressed air and renewable, which can be purchased, stored, treated, used in equipment or in a process, or recovered. The main purpose of implementing an energy management system (EnMS) is to enable an organization in a systematic way to improve its energy performance, which generally includes energy use, energy efficiency and energy consumption. With ISO 50001, businesses cut both consumption and costs alongside reducing reliance on third party energy suppliers, further reducing the operational risks.

ISO 50001 energy management standard is a proven framework for industrial facilities, commercial facilities, and other organizations to manage energy—including all aspects of energy procurement and usage. An EnMS establishes the structure and discipline to implement technical and management strategies that drastically cut energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions—and sustain those savings over time.

Companies certified to ISO 50001:2011 can transition to ISO 50001:2018 by 21 February 2022. The new version of ISO 50001 requires organizations to consider external requirements and risks and look beyond their own energy requirements. The new version of ISO 50001 also brings in a sharper focus on continual improvement in energy performance with more involvement of leadership and employees.
