Energy management is an integral part of modern industrial operations and implementing an efficient energy management system (EnMS) can result in increased energy efficiency, cost savings, and environmental sustainability. ISO 50001 is a worldwide recognized energy management standard that provides a methodical framework for enterprises to design, implement, maintain, and enhance their EnMS while becoming the most important worldwide standard for energy management systems since its publication in 2011. Since energy-intensive industrial companies must decide whether to implement an energy management system or an energy audit, the Audit2Measure project developed a questionnaire to assist industrial companies in assessing the maturity level of their energy management practices, with a particular emphasis on ISO 50001 compliance.
This tool is intended to help industrial organizations identify their current degree of energy management maturity, build or improve existing energy management practices, and understand how such practices may have evolved over time. The assessment can be undertaken by any organization irrespective of prior energy management practices knowledge, size of the organization or existing energy management system certification. The questionnaire addresses seven categories of the ISO standard (organizational context, leadership, planning, support, operations, performance evaluation, and improvement) in depth, including energy performance target setting, employee engagement and training, monitoring and tracking, and stakeholder communication.
The first part of this maturity assessment focuses on collecting identifying information related to the respondent’s role and the organization's structure, size, industry, and existing energy management certification.
