Key concepts

Energy management
Systematic work with mapping, controlling and improving an organisation's energy use so that energy waste is reduced and improvements are sustained in operations.
ISO 50001
International standard for energy management systems, requiring energy review, baseline, energy performance indicators, objectives, action plans, internal audit and continual improvement.
EnPI (energy performance indicator)
A metric expressing energy performance, used to verify whether measures actually reduce energy consumption.
Baseline
The reference period of energy consumption that improvements are measured against.
Significant energy use (SEU)
The systems, processes or buildings responsible for a substantial share of energy consumption, where the improvement potential is greatest.
Energy label data
Data from Danish energy performance certificates which, combined with building register data, support portfolio overview and prioritisation of energy measures.
