FAQ – Frequently asked questions about the ISO 50001 standard

An energy management system helps to establish systems and processes that continuously improve energy performance.

The introduction of an energy management system promotes a work culture in which energy performance is continuously improved. In addition, the system makes it possible to set and achieve desired goals and specific energy targets.

The new Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and Energy Efficiency Act require energy-intensive organizations to have a certified energy management system. In addition, a certified system leads to continuous improvement in the organization's energy efficiency. The system also demonstrates to customers and partners that it has been reliably implemented in the organization.

Assessing the current situation is the first step in building the system. The assessment helps you identify areas for development in order to build and improve your energy management system. If necessary, our experts will help you with the assessment.

Strengthening expertise through training or advisory services helps to understand the key principles of energy management systems.

The duration of system construction depends on how much has already been done to improve energy efficiency and how mature the current management system is. Often, many of the requirements of the standard, such as measurement, targets, operational planning, and identification of risks and opportunities, are already partially in place. An assessment of the current situation provides a realistic estimate of how much work is required to build the system and how long it will take.
