Does the facility have an energy monitoring and management system that follows ISO 50001 (1) standards and/or is it integrated in EMAS (2) ?

(1) ISO 50001 Energy Management: For organizations committed to addressing their impact, conserving resources and improving the bottom line through efficient energy management

(2) EMAS - Eco Management and Audit Scheme: EMAS helps organisations optimise their internal processes, achieve legal compliance, reduce environmental impacts, and use resources more efficiently.

The implementation of an EnMS will preferably be done according to formal standards that require organisational improvements, such as ISO 50001. ISO 50001 is a standard introduced in 2011, which specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an EnMS. It is modelled after ISO 14001 (environmental management standard) and ISO 9001 (quality management), but differs in that it requires an organisation to demonstrate that it has improved its performance. In addition, adherence to these standards will allow energy management efforts to be officially certified and recognised. Alternatively, organisations implementing EMAS can also integrate the aspect of energy management under the umbrella of the EMAS management system with a comparable level of requirements.
