1. Monitoring and measurement
According to DIN EN 16001, an important aspect of energy management is the process
of continuous improvement. In order to ensure this, you need to regularly check if
you have achieved all energy objectives and targets and if the EnMS is functioning
optimally.
If necessary, you may need to undertake corrective measures.
The following aspects must be considered during a regular review:
2. Reviewing compliance with legal obligations
3. Nonconformity, corrective and preventive action
4. Planning and structuring records
5. Internal audits
1. Monitor and measure the results of your EnMS regularly
It is possible to detect inefficient energy consumption
promptly if there is a frequent and regular comparison
between the expected and actual energy consumption.
6. Review by top management
By frequently and regularly comparing the expected and actual energy consumption,
it is possible to quickly detect inefficient use of energy. Also, it provides the opportunity
to analyse the energy consumption and to measure the achievement of objectives
and targets.
Tip
Apart from that, it allows you to analyse energy consumption
and to measure the extent to which you have
achieved energy targets and objectives.
Use energy reports, meter readings, information from administration and accounts
for monitoring and measuring. For this, your ERP system (e. g. SAP) should contain the
most current data!
