Abstract

The application of the energy management system allows enterprises to get definite preferences such as the decrease of the production cost by lowering the share of energy cost, the increase of energy efficiency in the operation of business, the decrease of the harmful impact on the environment. Due to this, the essential growth in the number of ISO 50001 certified enterprises can be observed in different countries, except Russia. From 2011 to 2013 enterprises located in different countries got 4048 certificates. Russian enterprises got only 18 certificates. The reasons of low interest of Russian enterprises in applying the energy management system are analyzed in this article. Among them we should single out the following two reasons. The first one is the absence of the single domestic information resource, which contains complete data concerning the enterprises that apply this system and the positive results of its application. The second reason is the short-sighted policy of the domestic top management, aimed at getting paper certificate instead of efficient system application and functioning. These two reasons determine the appearance of the third one. It is connected with the unwillingness to cooperate with organizations providing energy management system implementation services and bear definite financial expenses. Thereupon, the article examines a variation of the in-house energy management system implementation and proposes an algorithm concerning the method preparation necessary for energy management system formation.
