The author recognizes that energy is both a critical cost driver and a key sustainability metric for organizations worldwide. Through this lens, he demystifies ISO 50001 by translating the standard's technical language into actionable steps, enabling businesses to take control of their energy use, reduce operational costs, and minimize their environmental footprint.
Drawing on international best practices, real-world examples, and his expertise in energy systems and management, Adebayo guides the reader through every stage of the ISO 50001 journey. From initial planning and organizational buy-in to conducting energy reviews, setting performance indicators, developing action plans, and preparing for certification audits, the book provides practical tools and insights that make the implementation process both manageable and meaningful.
The book is structured to reflect the core elements of ISO 50001 and the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle upon which it is built. Each chapter addresses a critical aspect of the EnMS framework:
Notably, the guide balances strategic direction with detailed operational guidance.
