16 Advantages of an energy management system The introduction of an EnMS essentially requires the systematisation of energy-saving methods. In the longterm, this results in measurable energy savings and cost-related improvements, as well as efficiency in processes. At the macro-level, it vastly contributes to improving the environmental situation. There are various advantages to introducing an EnMS. The main reasons are discussed below: 1. Cost reduction Increasing energy costs reduce the overall profit – in almost every company, there is potential to reduce energy consumption. By introducing an EnMS, you can save up to 10 % of your energy costs in the initial years after implementation by systematically identifying the weak points in your energy consumption and addressing them with basic measures. Also, the investment in energy-efficient technologies is worthwhile: investments in compressed air systems and pump systems, as well as in ventilation systems, refrigeration and materials handling technology, will see a 5 – 50 % reduction in power consumption 11 in an average payback time of less than two years. 2. Environmental protection Climate change is already one of the main causes of natural catastrophes like floods and droughts. And even today, the consequences for humans and the environment are considerable. However, the aftermath of a more rampant increase in temperature is greater, e. g. flooding of coastal regions and low-lying island nations, increasing desert areas, melting of glaciers etc. While climate change is taking place worldwide, climate protection must occur locally. Only when all households and companies are working together, the undesirable risks of climate change can be mitigated. An efficient energy management is therefore an important element as it can contribute considerably to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 11 Compare, Austrian Energy Agency (www.energymanagement.at). 12 Compare, Federal Office of Economic and Export Control (BAFA), 2009. 3. Sustainable management Resource efficiency in all areas, and particularly with respect to energy, is a much discussed topic of our times. The reserves of fossil fuels are limited. Those who continue to rely on these resources are not preparing themselves for the future. Efficient energy management, new energy concepts and innovative energy technologies are key to operating successfully in the market in the coming years and decades. 4. Improvement of public image With a DIN EN 16001:2009 certification, you can credibly show to the public that your company is operating sensibly with respect to energy-efficiency and thus protects the environment. Environmental requirements are increasingly an important factor in public proposals in Europe, including, among others, climate-friendly purchasing. Both from the perspective of the procurer and the supplier, an EnMS supports the measurement of CO 2 -emissions. 5. Use of financial incentives Since January 2009, energy-intensive companies in Germany have been able to profit from a cost-reducing equalisation scheme through the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) if they have introduced an EnMS. 12 Here, legislation offers companies three different ways to gain certification. Either by a functional and certified EMS according to ISO 14001 according to EMAS, or a third method which includes certification of a comprehensible and technically-sound data collection, as well as an implementation of the review-saving potential, according to ecological and economic criteria. With the release of the DIN EN 16001 standard on 1 July 2009, there is now a certificate which exists specifically for such an EnMS.
6. Projection of climate policies According to the Integrated Energy and Climate Package (IECP), a voluntary commitment between the German economy and the German government will be signed, at the latest by 2013. This establishes EnMS as a pre-requisite for energy and electricity tax reductions.
