NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Houston, TX, United States, 2011/06/14 - On June 8, 2011, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) announced that ISO 50001 the new international standard for energy management will be released on June 15 several months sooner than initially predicted.

ISO 50001 will provide public and private sector organizations with management strategies to increase energy efficiency, reduce costs and improve energy performance.

Mike James, LRQA’s Global Managing Director commented,"Global demand for energy is set to rise exponentially in line with population growth and an increasing middle class population. Against this background and amid increasing concerns over energy security, countries are basing their future plans on a range of energy sources including coal, oil, gas, nuclear and renewable. However, a significant element in all future calculations are large planned improvements in energy efficiency and therefore ISO 50001 is set to make a major contribution in helping to bring this about."

LRQA is a global business assurance company providing management system certification, verification and training.
