The purchase of measurement equipment and meters<br />
is often expensive and does not necessarily rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong><br />
proportion to the potential sav<strong>in</strong>gs. Therefore, adjust<br />
the number of the required measurement devices to<br />
the type of your company and to the requirements of<br />
your EnMS. A comprehensive <strong>in</strong>troduction of measurement<br />
devices is not necessary; a plan should be prepared<br />
to optimise the use of measurement devices<br />
and, if necessary, to procure new devices over a long<br />
period of time.<br />

Important<br />
Generate key <strong>in</strong>dicators to measure energy consumption.<br />
This will help you compare the consumption of<br />
various plants or production l<strong>in</strong>es. Examples of key<br />
figures are, for example, the energy consumption per<br />
production unit or m 2 of floor area.<br />
For further <strong>in</strong>formation on data collection, refer to the chapter PLAN (record<strong>in</strong>g<br />
consumption, costs and production of energy).<br />
In accordance with <strong>DIN</strong> <strong>EN</strong> <strong>16001</strong>, the follow<strong>in</strong>g activities should be carried out regularly:<br />
• Consolidat<strong>in</strong>g ma<strong>in</strong> energy consumption <strong>in</strong> the<br />
form of key values<br />
• Compar<strong>in</strong>g actual and expected energy<br />
consumption<br />
The relation between energy factors and energy consumption must be assessed on<br />
a regular basis to ensure that consumption is assessed with the help of current bestpossible<br />
performance.<br />

• In the case of major deviation from the expected<br />
energy consumption, the reason for deviations and<br />
the corrective measures should be documented. 25<br />
Create benchmarks with other divisions of your<br />
company or other similar companies <strong>in</strong> order to<br />
