On June 14, as part of the European Sustainable Energy Week, the European Copper Institute and CEN-CENELEC Sector Forum Energy Management (SFEM) organized a workshop with speakers and panelists that included experts from the industry, the European Commission, and other stakeholders.

During the event, the scale of the highly cost-effective energy savings that can be obtained from broader and more effective adoption of energy management (EM) across the EU was presented, followed by an open discussion on how current EU policy instruments (such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive) could evolve to become more supportive of unlocking these large-scale savings.

Tools, techniques and various degrees for energy management were discussed. In particular, under the framework of a report prepared for the European Copper Institute by Waide Strategic Efficiency Limited, the ISO 50001 certification system was thoroughly discussed and debated regarding its efficiency potential, ease of understanding and implementation, and the acceptance from managers. In this respect Mr. Etore Piantoni indicated that the ISO 50001 is a business tool that needs to involve the entire supply chain of a product, it promotes efficient investments in energy management and brings innovation for those business managers and directors with an eye in the future.
