DIN EN 16001: Energy Management Systems in Practice - adelphi

DO
In order to achieve the maximum possible savings
potential, the measures determined in the action plan
should be prioritised and translated into a detailed
work plan.
As well as including the responsibilities and timeframe
for various activities, the work plan should
always take into account the necessary resources.
The stipulated energy objectives and targets can thus
only be achieved if sufficient financial and technical
resources are available. Furthermore, the Energy
Manager should systematically record the success of
measures and activities in order to make it easier for
energy objectives and targets to be realised and a costbenefit
analysis of the implemented measures to be
conducted. Success indicators are cost savings and a
reduction in environmental pollution, as well as a
positive review by the press or positive feedback from
the employees.
Maintain an energy savings register that records
all the implemented measures with their savings
potential.
After you have successfully planned your EnMS in step 4, it is now time for the actual
implementation. During the implementation phase, the activities which were
determined in the energy management programme and in the action plan are
implemented.
The following steps must be considered to ensure an effective implementation
of the EnMS:
1. Securing the necessary resources for implementing the EnMS and establishing
an action plan
2. Raising and building awareness
3. Training the employees
4. Communication of the EnMS
5. Documentation of the EnMS and monitoring the documentation
6. Operational control of all the relevant processes, including acquisition,
purchase and maintenance
