ISO 50001 Training — Energy Management

The ISO 50001 training prepares you to master energy management and achieve certification. The ISO 50001 standard is the international reference for energy management systems (EnMS): it helps organisations establish the processes needed to improve their energy performance — energy efficiency, energy use and consumption. Delivered by Zen Certif’s consultants and certified auditors, the ISO 50001 training gives participants the skills to implement, maintain and improve an energy management system compliant with the standard.

• Implement an EnMS: Learn to develop and integrate an energy management system into the organisation.
• Optimise energy performance: Identify energy improvement opportunities and implement management measures to exploit them.
• Reduce energy costs: Use the standard to reduce energy consumption and associated costs.
• Prepare for ISO 50001 certification: Become familiar with the certification process, including internal and external audits.
