Overview

This standard describes the skills and knowledge requirements to plan, develop and implement organisational energy performance monitoring processes.  It includes how to manage methods and processes to monitor and evaluate energy usage.

This standard is suitable for:

A manager with responsibility for energy management
An owner of a small business seeking to improve the energy performance of the organisation
An energy management systems co-ordinator or equivalent
An energy auditor
A consultant providing energy management advice.

This standard covers the planning and development required to implement an organisational energy monitoring system, considering the good practice, resources, objectives, and communication required to optimise energy efficiency.

When planning, developing and implementing organisational energy
performance monitoring processes, you/the planner needs to have in mind the requirements to protect nature and strengthen ecological resilience, boost resource-efficiency, lower carbon growth and reduce threats to human health and wellbeing.
