Publisher's Synopsis
With rising fuel costs and diminishing supplies, managing energy consumption more efficiently is becoming essential for all consumers. This introductory guide outlines the key elements of an energy management system and where to concentrate your efforts in order to achieve the greatest benefits for your organisation. It is written by BM TRADA, which is approved by UKAS to offer accredited ISO 50001 (Energy Management) certification to businesses around the world wishing to improve energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint. An energy management system can benefit organizations of all sizes, by helping you to create a sustainable business model, improve your energy performance, reduce negative impact on environment through CO2 emissions, and reduce energy bills. It may even open up new tendering opportunities, particularly if combined with environmental certification. The guide explains the requirements of the ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems Standard, and how to establish a system appropriate to your organisation's needs. This will help you decide how to begin preparing for the independent auditing process and where to go for support.
