Introduction
The purpose of this standard is to enable organizations to standardize energy management and establish the systems and processes necessary to improve energy performance, including energy efficiency, use and consumption. Establishment and implementation of management system for energy is a strategic decision for the top management of organizations. The success of the standard depends on commitment from top management and participation at all levels within the organization. Through implementation of standards related to the management system for energy, the organization may:
——Use the management means of the system to enable energy management to comply with the legal requirements and other requirements, to coordinate and promote each other and to reduce the energy consumption and to improve energy efficiency.
——Use the procedure method to identify, evaluate and control the energy aspects in the activities, products and service and realize the control and continual improvement of overall process of energy management.
——Construct a good platform to use advanced effective energy conservation technique and method, excavate and use optimal energy conservation practice and experience;
——Improve energy management effectiveness and improve integral performance;
——Make interested parties ensure that the appropriate management system for energy has been established.
The organizations adopt Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) which contributes to realization of management commitment and energy policy and continual improvement is outlined as follows:
——Plan: identify and evaluate organizations' energy aspects; identify relevant legal requirements and other requirements; determine energy management baseline by analysis, if practicable, determine benchmark; establish energy objective, targets and establish energy management plan, etc.;
——Do: provide required resource; determine requirements for capacity, training and awareness and conduct a training; establish information exchange mechanism and make information exchange and communication; establish document and record required; conduct operation control and develop relevant activities, etc.
——Check: monitor, measure and evaluate energy management activities, energy objective and target realization; identify and treatment nonconformity; develop internal audit, etc.
——Act: evaluate management commitment, energy policy, energy objective and suitability, sufficiency and effectiveness of the target based on results of internal audit and management review and other relevant information, take corrective action and preventive action for the purpose of continual improvement of the management system for energy.
Model of management system for energy for this standard based on "PDCA" approach is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Operation Mode of Management System for Energy
The complexity, document number and input resource for the management system for energy depend on many aspects, such as system coverage, organizations scale and activities, products and services nature thereof, type of energy consumption and consumption requirements.
Implementation of this standard can improve energy management performance of the organizations, however, the success in implementation of management system for energy needs supports of correlation technologies and methods. Therefore, the organization should consider using the most practicable energy conservation technologies and methods if it is suitable and economically feasible, as well as the cost effectiveness produced by adopting these energy conservation technologies and methods.
This standard proposes management requirements for energy consumption and energy efficiency of the organizations and requirements for the energy consumption and energy efficiency to the products provided by them.
This standard does not propose the requirements of specific targeted value for the energy management performance, or include the requirements against other management systems, like quality, environment, occupational health and safety, Finance or risk; however, the requirements specified in this standard may be coordinated or integrated with the requirements for other management systems.
