Abstract
ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems defines requirements for third-
party certification. This book serves as a practical manual how to imple-
ment ISO 50001 following an approach of integrated management.
A broad scope of background theories and practical examples are showing
how the energy quest serves as a stepping stone for success on national
and international markets—explaining not only what has to be done,
but also how to do it, and even why it is reasonable. Nearly all business
domains are affected by energy management: for example, accounting
and managerial accounting, operations, supply chain management and
logistics, procurement, facility management, strategic planning, and busi-
ness ethics. Thus, the book outlines the foundations of a comprehensive
energy-oriented business administration or energy management as business
function. Academic teachers can cover the field in their respective classes
to endow the students with this know-how, boosting the student’s careers
and advancing the companies their students will work for.
The overall challenge of energy increases the complexity of manage-
ment considerably, but powerful new information technology tools are
also available. Examples are in-memory databases, cloud and mobile
computing, Big Data, or smart metering. They are contributing to energy
efficiency as part of corporate sustainabiltiy.
