The country's technological progress is much more depending on Energy consumption. For sustainable development efficient use of it is an essential element either saving consumption at the micro or macro level within or outside the Organization. Energy planning, monitoring optimum utilization of this, controlling and conserving energy within the Organization involves. Measuring and monitoring the its usage and formulate the strategy to reduce the energy consumption within the premises, finding out the ways and opportunities to analyze and save the amount of energy to be consumed within the Organization. Taking corrective actions and finally create parameters of energy management systems.
In today's day and age everyone from common man to business tycoon, a residential place to business premises trying hard to reduce their carbon footprints by adopting certain parameters and adopting sustainable living so to reduce the impact on climate. Considering this inevitable International Organization for Standardization implemented ISO 50001:2018 standard In the Organization which aims to improve energy performance and also establish sustainable processes. Greenhouse gas emission has been reduced by implementing this standard and also proved to be beneficial for having another environmental impact. One study proves that 60% of the world's energy can be saved just by implementing this standard in the Organization. This standard can be applied to any size or nature of business whether its Industrial plants, Commercial, Institutional and government facilities.
This standard is easy to integrate with other widely applied management systems ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Certification . It follows High-Level Structure (HLS) as this already and integral part of the above-mentioned standards. Due to the adoption of HLS in the latest version of ISO 50001:2018, there is a new clause which has been introduced for the understanding of the Organization. In place of the energy management plan, it is now energy data collection, identifying risk and opportunities and proper actions to be taken to address all risks and opportunities, management review system has now more clarity. The latest version is more risk-based and maintaining the right documents.
A systematic approach to energy management system gives sustainable results. And Organizations that follow the best practices for strategy development for energy-saving and fix global benchmark for clean.
Following are the listed benefits of ISO 50001:2018 Energy management system:
- Risks related to energy supply can be identified and manage properly
- Through monitoring and proper measure the energy identifies the area where efficiency needs to improve.
- Overall performance has been improved through the cut and consumption
- It is helpful for the government to meet the reduction target and also reduce carbon emission.
- By demonstrating environmental credentials it will increase the tender opportunities.
For improving energy efficiency this has been proved as a flagship International standard for reducing energy consumption which not only helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and also helps in maintaining the clean and green energy. It designed the framework which helps the Organizations to manage energy efficiency and effectiveness and reduce the its cost and usage.
Emphasis is given on the top management to instill change in Organization culture in the usage of energy consumption within the premises. It became easier now to integrate with the existing management standards after it being aligned with ISO's requirement.
