UKAS accredits CIBSE Certification for energy-management systems

CIBSE Certification has been accredited to certify energy-management systems against ISO 50001 by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). CIBSE Certification can now certify organisations aiming to use ISO 50001 certification to meet the requirements of the ESOS regulations.

The ability to certify energy-management systems is a major development in CIBSE’s mission to improve energy consumption in buildings because ISO 50001 represents a recognised standard that it can support companies to work towards.

Prof. Andrews Geens, head of CIBSE Certification, explains, ‘A properly structured energy-management system is invaluable to organisations looking to manage energy costs, but the carbon-management element is important too. We are glad to be able to certify and give businesses the confidence to implement an energy-management system.’
