How does ISO 50001 version 2018 affect my work as an energy manager?

You need to focus on measuring and verifying energy performance (M&V). You will be asked to demonstrate continuous improvement in this performance by means of appropriate measurement plans and relevant energy data, which you will have rigorously analyzed and from which you will derive performance indicators. The new version of the standard will also enable you to cross-reference your work with that of the quality manager, the environmental management system manager and the occupational health and safety manager. Indeed, these three functions have their own standards (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001) built on a common structure. Handy for joint reporting, for example!
