Gestion de l’énergie et la norme ISO 50001

Aperçu du programme La formation Gestion de l'énergie et la norme ISO 50001 est conçue pour ceux qui souhaitent développer une culture de la gestion de l'énergie au sein de leur organisation. Elle couvre les éléments essentiels nécessaires à la réussite et s'aligne sur les exigences de la norme ISO 50001. ISO 50001 est une norme internationalement reconnue qui fournit aux organismes un cadre structuré pour la gestion de l'énergie. Elle intègre l'efficacité énergétique dans les pratiques de gestion afin d'améliorer la compréhension de l'utilisation de l'énergie, de promouvoir des comportements positifs en matière de gestion de l'énergie et d'encourager les pratiques d'économie d'énergie. L'utilisation de la norme ISO 50001 s'est accrue au fil du temps, car sa mise en œuvre permet de réduire les dépenses énergétiques et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES). Cette formation interactive d'une journée encourage les participants à réfléchir à leur rôle dans la promotion et le renforcement d'une culture de l'efficacité énergétique au sein de leur organisation. Bien qu'elle suive la norme ISO 50001 pour l'amélioration continue de la performance énergétique, la formation ne nécessite pas la mise en œuvre de la norme ISO 50001 ou l'obtention d'une certification pour bénéficier […]
