This Standard is applicable to most industries and lack of possessing this standard could be detrimental to an organizations success. ​

​

• ISO 50001 (Energy Management System): ISO 50001 was created in 2011 to monitor the level of Energy Efficiency within Organizations. Building on existing Standards, ISO 50001 outlines the requirements for an organization to use energy efficiently, leading to an overall reduction in energy cost and higher accountability to the environment. This Standard will monitor these matters on a long term basis, assuring the efficacy in use of energy, rather than dealing with isolated incidents of uneconomical energy use. ​

​​
