Introduction 

The ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management Standard (EnMS) evaluates a company’s conformance to a set of criteria to improve energy performance. This training course focuses on energy efficiency, energy security, and energy use and consumption. The standard specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an energy management system.

Saving energy is the main driving force towards developing and maintaining a competitive edge within any company by implementing the correct strategy and system to support continuous energy management and saving improvements. The standard provides a framework for ongoing and successful energy savings and enables managed energy efficiency in any organization. The standard is based on the Plan Do Check Act continual improvement framework and incorporates energy management into everyday organizational practices.

The standard does not prescribe how it must be done; it gives the organization the freedom to determine what best suits its needs. This training course provides the tools for an internal auditor to analyze and determine what is needed for a company to conform to the standard before getting audited externally or improve a company’s energy performance based on the international framework if certification is not desired.
