The present Guide seeks to make a tangible contribution to globally disseminate best available technologies and practices for promoting industrial energy efficiency. Energy Management Systems (EnMSs) have emerged over the past two decades as a proven best practice methodology to ensure sustainable energy efficiency and continually improve performance in industry. Most industrial enterprises that have implemented an EnMS have achieved on average two to three times the annual energy savings achieved by enterprises without an EnMS. This Guide seeks to enhance the understanding of enterprises with regard to Energy Management Systems in order to enable them to take effective measures to implement energy management, and in so doing, to improve their energy performance, productivity and environmental sustainability.
