At the plementation of a successful energy management. Training service portals can be found at: www. Furthermore, various certifiers and EMAS-environmental consultants conduct work- shops and seminars on energy management in accordance with ISO , as well as for operational energy experts. Practical example The Volkswagen Group conducts a training programme for energy representatives in various departments.
This training includes providing information on the most conven- tional energy sources to demonstrate energy saving potential in various areas. Ensure that your energy management representative possesses the necessary expertise and skills. By involving all employees, EMAS-companies ensure that the employees are well- informed when it comes to the various aspects of energy management.
Expand your spectrum of training measures with energy-relevant training. The external communication of your EnMS re- gestions for improvement and which motivates them sults is not mandatory; however, it helps to portray a on all levels. A separate process should be introduced positive profile of your company and positively affects and implemented for this purpose.
All comments collected and suggestions for improve- Effective internal communication is an important ment should be reviewed and answered. Informing your employees about the EnMS on nication within the framework of energy management a regular basis increases their motivation to actively — this simplifies the information flow. Develop the communications plan together with the department for internal communications and gain from their experience.
You should be able to communicate distinctly and ling. This ensures regular internal communication clearly to the public all possible measures and even of the EnMS results up to the top management. Tip Internal communication of your EnMS, its objectives and targets, as well as responsibilities, on a regular basis forms one of the most important aspects of a successful implementation.
Especially in the initial phase, regular communication of the measures to be implemented is very important. This helps achieving a change of attitude amongst your colleagues. External communication is not an obligation but you can take it as an opportunity to portray your company in public as being energy-conscious and environmentally friendly. It is becoming increasingly relevant in the face of the climate protection debate to portray individual efforts and to be placed positively on the market.
Learn more about this aspect in Chapter 6 of this guide. Focus your communication on energy aspects. When you decide to communi- cate your energy management externally, prepare a communication plan, just as you do for internal communication. EMAS users are already well-positioned with respect to communication. Additional requirements for internal communication are in accordance with ISO Tip According to ISO , energy management should be a cross-sectoral theme.
Staff members from different departments such as procurement, controlling, building servic- es, production and other areas with high energy consumption should regularly discuss this topic with each other. Ensure that the documentation system fore, preferably filed in a systematic manner. If you is monitored regularly and always kept up-to-date.

You already fulfil all the important prerequisites; however, ensure that all energy-relevant documents are available. EMAS companies have already presented an externally validated document. No other requirements need to be met. Ensure that all the energy-relevant documents are available. In addition, all documents should regularly be monitored for being up-to-date and being accu- Also ensure that you identify and make available any rate.

Examine all processes to determine, for example, how much energy can be saved by switching off machines This includes the planning of procedures and processes, when they are not in use or by changing processes or maintenance of facilities, installations and equipment, working procedures.
Tip Do not only concentrate on the main processes. Ebel See also, e. This includes mentioning the type of maintenance. ISO does not go into as much detail here. Energy-conscious design: Attention must be paid to energy-efficient design, When implementing energy-efficient designs, collab- when designing, modifying or renovating plants, oration with an external consultant may be advisable. Energy-conscious procurement: entire lifecycle is always considered in the assessment of energy consumption and energy efficiency.
In the case of high which option is the most reasonable; energy consumption, more complex evaluation proce- dures might be useful. Make energy efficiency a design and procurement. With regard to procurement, you also need to consider additional energy-related requirements in the design of relevant equipment and pro- cesses. As an EMAS company, you have much fewer additional aspects to consider.
You have already integrated environmental impacts into your procurement. In addition, you only have to ensure that the energy aspect remains a relevant theme.
Your employees are informed already. If required, add criteria for operating and maintaining facilities, processes and equip- ment, as well as the review of energy consumption in the design of equipment, facili- ties and processes.
If necessary, you may need to undertake corrective measures. The following aspects must be considered during a regular review: 1. Monitoring and measurement 2. Reviewing compliance with legal obligations 3. Internal audits 4. Nonconformity, corrective and preventive action 5.
Planning and structuring records 6. Review by top management 1. Monitor and measure the results of your EnMS regularly It is possible to detect inefficient energy consumption would measure for example the energy consumption promptly if there is a frequent and regular comparison of processes, compressed air, heating or lighting.
The between the expected and actual energy consumption. Measurements relevant factors for energy consumption must be mon- can be made as real-time measurements, or be carried itored. Depending on the type of organisation, you out in monthly or even rarer intervals.
By frequently and regularly comparing the expected and actual energy consumption, it is possible for you to quickly detect inefficient use of energy. Also, you have the opportunity to analyse the energy consumption and to measure the achievement of objectives and targets. Tip Use energy reports, meter readings, information from administration and accounts for monitoring and measuring. This will help you com- proportion to the potential savings.
Therefore, adjust pare the consumption of various plants or production the number of the required measurement devices to lines. An example energy performance indicator is the the type of your company and to the requirements of energy consumption per production unit or m2 of floor your EnMS. A comprehensive introduction of measure- area See also Chapter 5A.
Tip Establish benchmarks with other parts of your company or other comparable compa- nies in order to uncover potential for optimisation and define energy objectives. Important The relation between energy factors and energy consumption must be assessed on a regular basis to ensure that consumption is assessed with the help of current best- possible performance.
Monitor and assess compliancy with legal obligations You should regularly assess to what extent the legal A written review is required here. How- ever, their legal compliance has, unlike within ISO certification requirements, been cross-checked by the responsible authorities, and can be proven by appropriate documentation known as a clearance certificate of an environmental verifier.
Internal audits You must regularly carry out internal audits, which in- internal review of your EnMS and thus an important cludes a systematic review of your EnMS. In the run-up step for continuous improvement. Therefore, you to an internal audit, it is advisable to clarify what it should not see the internal audit as merely a control actually contains. In this case, it is advisable to use the same auditor The aim of the internal audit is to further develop the that is used for certification as it reduces effort and functionality of your EnMS, your energy management costs.
In either case, the auditor should be qualified, programmes, objectives and targets, et cetera, and to experienced, impartial and independent of the area help develop new measures for optimising your to be assessed in the organisation. Once you have decided on the auditor, you should Prepare audit checklists for guidance during the audit. Think beforehand about which information will help you analyse the current status quo of your sources you will use.
These can be persons, documents EnMS. Note the type of resources used, place and time or already existing energy reports. It is a good idea to of the audit taken, as well as the name of the persons collect the essential data for the internal audit before responsible. This will help to save time and cost and will give you a good opportunity to get more deeply At the beginning of the audit, explain the objective of involved in the analysis of possible causes.
It is formation in the run-up to the audit. ISO is the international audit standard. It functions as a guide for auditing quality and environment management systems and lists the 23 qualifications of auditors. Furthermore, ensure that an audit plan and schedule are created under consideration of the results of earlier audits. EMAS companies already fulfil all the prerequisites through the additional regulations on internal company auditing.
However, ensure that your auditor has sufficient knowledge regarding energy management and energy efficiency. Take action if the energy policy cannot be implemented: If the requirements that ISO sets for your EnMS are not fulfilled, then you must take corrective action. This is applicable, for instance, when the behaviour of employees or the develop- ment of the company are not conforming to the energy policy, the energy objec- tives and targets or to the energy programme.
You must identify deviations and their causes, as well guidelines on how you have to respond to them. How- as ensure that the problems do not repeat themselves. Create a plan for your records You must keep records of your energy-related activi- and must conform to the requirements of your EnMS. With these records, document the realisation of They should be traceable, legible and accessible and energy objectives and targets, energy programmes should be directly assigned to the relevant processes, and action plans.
The records depend on the company activities or persons. In comparison to ISO , no substantial changes are necessary to the procedures for managing records. As an EMAS user, you already fulfil all the prerequisites as you must regularly collect all information on your environmental performance for updated environmental statements.
Furthermore, follow-up general state of your energy management system. Based on the results The management review is not only an assessment of of the internal audit, an intensive review by the top the EnMS status quo but also an important tool for the management should take place at least once a year.
Tip Integrate the energy management obligations into your internal financial controlling in order for top management to be kept informed about the status quo of the energy indicators. In order to organise the respective meeting of the top management for the review of your EnMS as effectively as possibly, preparations should be made well in advance e. Make sure to include energy performance indicators in the manage- ment review, as well as the planned energy performance.
The suggestions resulting from the review undertaken by top management must be completed with improvements achieved since the last review. That pany, you have the option of getting it certified by includes conducting an audit in order to check if you an independent external certifier. When receiving the certificate, the company long time to come.
Tip If you have already introduced another management system, you should bear in mind that your certification body cannot only certify your EnMS but also other management systems for example ISO or ISO Here, the effort required for an audit can be reduced and costs can be saved.
Initial certification Once you have decided on a certifier, a first pre-audit which the functionality of the management system im- is usually carried out. It thus primarily deals with the agreement business strategies, requirements of the standard that between the defined targets and the performance your company has already fulfilled, et cetera. Based on against these.
The expenditure for this certification au- these early assessments, the core points of the meas- dit is dependent on the certification body you employ. Tip Before starting the certification process, the EnMS should have run for at least three months so that the relevant data is available. Performance is thus assessed systematically, conduct the re-certification in time and before the enhanced and, if required, optimised. It is further recommended to business partners, clients and the wider public that define target groups, identify communication media you have successfully implemented an EnMS.

As energy manager and energy experts of your organisation, the table serves as an overview and orientation to review your operational situation with regards to the in- troduction of ISO Even the parts of the EnMS that are in principle already ful- filled under ISO should once again be reviewed with reference to the special situation of each company.
These parts should also be checked to ensure that they adequately reflect energy-related issues. ISO was designed in such a way that it. Certification Europe is accredited to certify organisations to ISO and intends to be in a position to offer accredited ISO certificati. ISO audit questionnaire more than questions.
