The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) have recently started a new work item proposal about energy managment.

Standardization in the field of energy management, including: energy supply, procurement practices for energy using equipment and systems, energy use, and any use-related disposal issues. The standard will also address measurement of current energy usage, and implementation of a measurement system to doument, report, and validate continuous improvement in the area of energy management.The Standard will build on the framework of standards such as ANSI MSE 2000:2005 and other national standards (See Justification Study for a non-exhaustive review of standards regarding energy management) and will support the continual improvement plan-do-check-act approach utilized in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 to provide compatibility and integration opportunities. The energy management standard will provide a practical approach to improving energy efficiencies, reducing costs and potential improvements in the environmental footprint of the implementing organizations by combining both the technical aspects of energy management and the strategic management aspects. So here from Argentina we encourage all the normalization institute of de developing countries to participate including our view in the future standard international.
