Energy Management and the ISO 50001 Standard

Energy Management and the ISO 50001 Standard is designed for those who wish to develop an energy management culture in their organization. It covers the essential elements necessary for success and is aligned with the requirements of the ISO 50001 standard.

ISO 50001 is an internationally acknowledged standard that provides organizations with a structured framework for managing energy. It serves to incorporate energy efficiency into management practices to enhance understanding about energy usage, promote positive energy management behaviours, and foster energy conservation practices. The use of ISO 50001 has increased over time because implementing it lowers energy expenses and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

This one-day interactive training encourages participants to consider their role in promoting and strengthening an energy efficiency culture within their organizations. While it follows the ISO 50001 standard for continuous energy performance improvement, the training does not require implementing the ISO 50001 standard or obtaining certification to benefit from the lessons and exercises.

• Understand the ISO 50001 Energy Management System standard and its benefits.
