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 />

• Cont<strong>in</strong>uous monitor<strong>in</strong>g and record<strong>in</strong>g of<br />

fundamental energy consumption and the<br />

energy factors related to it<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 />
