Examples of Reported Benefits:
-
Reduction in energy costs shortly after starting ISO 50001 implementation

In some cases, capital projects are not required to achieve energy and cost savings
-
Operational productivity improvements
Examples of Reported Implementation Costs:
-
External technical assistance
-
Monitoring and metering equipment
-
Internal staff time: an energy team is responsible for developing the energy management system, which typically takes place over 6–12 months.
