What is Energy Management? Energy management is a culture for continual improvement of energy performance and efficiency that’s integrated within an organization’s everyday business practices. Organizations with an energy management system achieve energy and cost savings through informed decision making and the implementation of energy saving practices for sites, processes, equipment and operations. ISO 50001 is the international standard for establishing and maintaining energy management systems.
