• Purpose is to enable improvement in energy performance (measurable results related to efficiency, use and consumption)

• Requires a good understanding of the variables affecting energy use and a set of integrated process/systems to manage and improve such use

ISO 50001 – an overview

• Summary of the requirements » Be smart - gain a good understanding of the variables

affecting energy use in your organisation (design, process, people, weather etc.)
