8 3 fOR WHOM IS tHIS GuIDE MEANt? A guide for all companies and organisations EN 16001 is a classical management system standard which is not specifically sector-oriented and can be adopted by different organisations, from small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) to the Federal Authority. 3 The standard lays down a framework within which individual involvement is required. The guide, as a reflection of the standard, explains in simple terms how companies and other organisations can develop a structured management system, regardless of the energy intensity of activities, size, branch etc. This guide can thus, in principle, be adopted by organisations of any kind. The guide is not only directed towards large companies / organisations 4 which have already introduced a management system or towards those which need to introduce an energy management system (EnMS) due to their energy intensity but also towards SMEs who want to first familiarise themselves with the subject. Special attention is paid to companies which are already ISO 14001 or EMAS - certified or those which use a similar management system. Even companies that claim energy tax exemption are subject to emissions trading or that are committed to the subject of sustainability and corporate social responsibility, respond to these Integration of EnMS according to DIN EN 16001 into other management systems in the company DIN EN 16001 can be used by companies in all of the sectors and sizes. An EnMS that is based on DIN EN 16001 can be implemented irrespective of existing management systems or can be integrated into the ones already in place. It was designed in such a way that it can be combined with other management systems, primarily those concerning quality and environmental management. DIN EN 16001, as well as DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN EN ISO 14001 (EMAS), are based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle (PDCA). Accordingly, the various management systems can be easily consolidated or the company has the option of conforming to the existing management system with the aim of developing a management system in accordance with DIN EN 16001. 5 3 The guide looks at a wide spectrum of energy management aspects; it does not focus on the energy management of buildings. 4 To maintain simplicity, from henceforth in the document, only companies will be referred to. guidelines in a targeted manner. At the same time, benefits are proposed for those companies which are already affected by the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz, EEG) or for which the future development of the German Federal Government’s integrated energy-climate programme is particularly relevant. Chapter 6 provides a step-by-step guide to energy management which can be taken as a proposal and first input to introduce EnMS. Each individual step towards introducing an EnMS is explained in detail, and this helps to systematically approach the subject of energy management. Since formal requirements in terms of functions and responsibilities naturally cover a wide spectrum, it is the task of the particular company to take what it needs from the diverse options for developing a management system, as described in DIN EN 16001, according to individual requirements. The guide follows a systematic and less technical approach. Where relevant, however, you will still find references to sector-specific technical support from institutions and other sector-specific guides. 5 It may even be based on the already existing low-threshold environment management approaches. For more information, see BMU (2005).
