Development of Energy Management Standards

摘要

Limited energy resources after the 2008 global crisis for the first time lead to positive cost-effectiveness of energy efficiency management implementation. In year 2009 EU adopted EN 16001 standard. International standard organization publish ISO 50001 in 2011. ISO 50001 is a generic management standard same as ISO 9001 and ISO 14000 and can be applied to any organization. The paper gives a chronological overview of the development of energy management standards and explains the standard implementation. The first and most important step is to secure commitment of Management then to perform energy audit according to EN 16247. Furthermore to identify key energy usage and establish energy baseline. System behavior is defined on the basis on changes in individual energy performance indicators (EnPI). Defining EnPI should be monitored in order to valorize the state of system efficiency. Energy management standards in form of ISO50001 is still evolving. New standards are being developed to further, in more detail, define the requirements of energy management standard; ISO 50002:2014, ISO 50003:2014, ISO 50004:2014, ISO 50006:2014, 50015:2014, ISO 50007:2017 and ISO 50008 under development.
