GHG Reductions and Sustainable Energy Use - ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems

摘要

By mid-2014, more than 7,000 facilities have obtained registration to ISO 50001.'" The keys to successful implementation are: (1) top management involvement, (2) a truly cross-functional steering team to lead the implementation and ongoing development of the EnMS, (3) a pilot plant to shake out the bugs and adapt standard procedures to the company culture and process environment, (4) plant energy champions appointed by the plant manager to lead the energy culture change in each facility, and (5) effective internal audits to drive the EnMS across all functions and levels of the organization, where it can be most effective in saving energy year after year. Possibly the next phase of the US DOE efforts to promote EnMSs and superior energy performance (SEP)~ⅳ will focus more on key management roles which are illustrated by these five keys.
