This enables organizations to convert their existing energy and environmental management systems into a systematic energy management system:
- Development of a company policy for the more efficient use of energy
- Determination of characteristic values
- Data analysis of energy consumption in all major consumption areas
- Measurement of results
- Continuous monitoring of measures
