Energy Efficiency § ISI Semiconductor and Silicon Industry Sector ISO 50001 Management System Standard for Energy In February 2008, the ISO approved the establishment of a new project committee (ISO/PC 242 – Energy Management) to develop the new ISO Management System Standard for Energy. The purpose of the standard is to : ?assist organizations in making better use of their existing energy consuming assets ?facilitate benchmarking, measuring, documenting, and reporting on energy efficiency related data ?facilitate communication on the management of energy resources ?promote energy management best practices and reinforce good energy management behaviors ?provide a framework for promoting energy efficiency throughout the supply chain. ?Facilitate energy management improvements in the context of GHG emission reduction projects. It is expected that the new standard will be compatible with key management standards like ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management (e.g. it will be based on Plan-Do-Check-Act approach). According to estimations the standard could influence up to 60 % of the world’s energy use. ISO 50001 is planned to be published by the Q3 2011.
