Inbrief

The British Standards Institution (BSI) has launched a new energy management standard to help organizations cut their carbon emissions and improve profitability.  ISO 50001, aimed at businesses of all sizes, outlines the processes necessary to measure energy usage, implement action plans, set targets and identify, prioritize, and record opportunities for improving energy performance to make financial savings.

The new standard looks set to replace BS EN 16001, BSI’s current energy management system, which will be withdrawn from use sometime next year.
