ISO 50001 Energy Management System
ISO 50001 is an international standard that offers a framework for organizations to improve their energy performance systematically. It helps organizations manage energy use more efficiently, reduce costs, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Applicable to any organization, ISO 50001 involves setting energy targets, monitoring usage, and continuously improving energy management practices. While voluntary, it’s widely adopted by organizations aiming to enhance sustainability and integrate energy management with other systems like quality and environmental management.
EN 16798-1 Indoor Air Quality
EN 16798-1 is a European standard that focuses on indoor environmental quality, both thermal comfort and air quality, in buildings. It sets out requirements and guidelines for maintaining healthy and comfortable indoor conditions by addressing factors like temperature, humidity, ventilation, and air pollutant levels. The standard provides criteria for designing and assessing ventilation systems to ensure adequate fresh air supply and control of indoor pollutants, which is crucial for occupant health and comfort. While often used in conjunction with energy efficiency measures, EN 16798-1 is typically referenced in building regulations and certifications to ensure that indoor environments are safe, healthy, and conducive to well-being.
