Reducing energy consumption and the dependency on fossil fuels is a major challenge.
Governments, organizations and corporations around the world must work together in order to move towards
a more sustainable future.
ISO International Standards can help solve the
energy challenge by:
- increasing energy efficiency, and
- promoting
the development of renewable energy technologies.
Over 200 of our
21000 standards are related to energy efficiency and renewables. These range from the
energy management
system standard ISO 50001 that can be used by any organization in any sector, to
standards specific
to certain sectors, such as building or transportation.
- Building
– Standards such as ISO 23045 for the energy efficiency assessment of buildings,
and ISO 13153 for the
design of energy saving family homes, can
help reduce energy use in the sector.
- Transport – ISO standards
for ships, aircraft
and cars can
help reduce emissions and fuel consumption.
- Renewables - ISO standards on emerging technologies such as solar power can help organizations
share best practice and drive uptake. We are also active in solid biofuels and standards
in this field will be published soon.
We also have standards related
to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
