EVENT NEWS
July 14, 2011. For those of you who are into the nucleus of energy theory and management, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has released its new ISO 50001 Framework For Energy Management. This new ISO 50001 international standard has the potential to ultimately effect 60 percent of global energy use. In its most basic overview, ISO 50001 is an organizational management standard that provides tools (for large corporations, small business and government agencies) for identifying the best measurable management approaches to yield the greatest energy savings, per year, over time. This new standard is over ten years in the making. It is said to be user friendly (for both big and small energy consumption base lines) and is not prescriptive (but rather inclusive and adaptable). Buckwheat Valley Citizens Coalition (BVCC) believes this is the kind of forward energy conservation model thinking that will provide the monetary motivation (profit-loss incentive) for corporate attitude change (which is so sadly lacking in the current corporate intellectual content of today's business mind set). Now, if only we could convince our local and federal governments to require compliance with ISO 50001, and make this a legislative priority. How long do you citizens estimate that could take? Why not ask them? See if your local and federal politicians know that ISO 50001 even exists?
