Description
With the growing environmental awareness of the recent decades, CERN strives to be an example for environmentally-friendly research. Energy is one of the factors in reducing the Organization's ecological footprint. In continuation with efforts to improve energy efficiency since 2015 through the Energy Management Panel (EMP), the Organization has initiated the process of obtaining the ISO 50001 certification for energy management. This process requires to define the Laboratory’s energy baseline and energy performance indicators covering the Organization’s main energy uses. It then sets objectives and energy targets and a plan to achieve them. Getting the certification also entails reviewing and completing CERN’s energy policy, designing new tools to measure performance, and organizing formal audits carried out by an accredited certification body. This talk will cover the current status towards the certification.
