DIN EN 16001: Energy Management Systems in Practice - adelphi

An important objective of your EnMS is to save costs.
This requires interface management: Outdated distribution
formulae for energy costs often exist in the
controlling of companies, something which should be
regularly updated. Therefore, the Controller and the
Tip
Energy Manager should schedule regular meetings
over a fixed time-period. In the long run, an updated
distribution formula provides better incentives for
those people in charge of the cost centres.
Overall, it is important that the current figures (consumption, costs) are stored in the
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system (e.g. SAP) of your company. This data should
be retrievable from Controlling & Accounting, as well as the technical departments.
The following aspects should be considered in the existing ISO 14001 while
determining and reviewing energy aspects:
•
Establish and review the past and current energy consumption.
• Identify the areas with significant energy consumption, and those in which
maximum changes in energy consumption have taken place. The latter represent
important areas for energy savings.
• Analyse the expected energy consumption for a comparison with the current energy
consumption.
• Identify all the persons whose activities have a significant impact and influence on
energy consumption.
• Identify and prioritise opportunities to improve energy efficiency and those for
energy savings. Maintain a list.
With the current EMAS III, the review of past and present energy consumption has
generally already been realised when taking into consideration the data from the
environmental audit. If required, you must add the energy factors here.
Even the identification of areas with increased energy consumption has already been
completed. If required, add the changes from the last period.
Additionally, you should estimate the expected energy consumption in accordance
with ISO 14001 and identify all the persons whose actions have an influence on it.
