THE CHALLENGE
The audit date is set. The energy data isn’t.
When audit preparation starts from scratch every year, there is no time left to cut energy consumption. And in the audit, you lack the evidence that your energy performance has improved. Today, the German Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG) requires an energy or environmental management system to ISO 50001 or EMAS from 7.5 GWh annual consumption, and published implementation plans from 2.5 GWh.
Starting from scratch every year
Audit preparation runs as a project instead of being part of everyday work.
Unclear impact
Which measures really saved energy last year? Without reliable energy performance indicators, nobody knows for sure.
THE SOLUTION
Energy management that runs alongside everyday work
Energy data, measures and audit status are in one place in Code Gaia, along the PDCA cycle. You use the same consumption data for your carbon footprint and your climate targets.
HOW IT WORKS
ISO 50001 thinks in Plan-Do-Check-Act. So does Code Gaia.
-
Plan: define scope and baseline
Define sites, roles and responsibilities, and collect energy data, documents and ownership in one place.
-
Do: implement measures
You manage measures, tasks and deadlines with simple project management.
-
Check: review impact
Energy performance indicators (EnPIs), evidence and internal audits at a glance.
-
Act: keep improving
Refine measures and use the same data for the next cycle, your carbon footprint and your climate strategy.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about ISO 50001
What is ISO 50001?
ISO 50001 is the international standard for energy management systems. Companies use it to systematically record their energy consumption, define energy performance indicators (EnPIs) and improve their energy efficiency in the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle.
Who needs an energy management system under the EnEfG?
Under the current German Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG), companies with more than 7.5 GWh annual energy consumption need an energy or environmental management system to ISO 50001 or EMAS. The reform in the Bundestag plans to raise this threshold to 23.6 GWh.
Does ISO 50001 replace the energy audit?
Yes. A certified energy management system to ISO 50001 exempts you from the energy audit obligation under the German Energy Services Act (EDL-G). Under the planned reform, the audit obligation applies to all companies from 2.77 GWh, unless they operate a certified management system.
How are ISO 50001 and the carbon footprint connected?
If you use less energy, you usually also reduce your Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. In Code Gaia you use the same consumption data for your energy management, your carbon footprint and your climate targets.
