Energy management systems are crucial for businesses to reduce costs, improve competitiveness and demonstrate sustainability. Implementing a system based on the BS EN 16001 standard can enable yearly reductions in energy use through continual improvement. The standard specifies requirements for an energy management system to help organizations determine energy needs, establish policy and objectives, and review energy aspects to attain efficiency goals.
