• Establish an Energy Performance Indicator (EnPI) framework for tracking and measuring continuous improvement.
• Develop and implement actionable energy objectives, targets, and management programs.
• Understand the requirements for internal auditing, management review, and external certification.
• Identify opportunities for integrating EnMS with other management systems (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 14001).

• **Scenarios:** Conducting an internal audit of a manufacturing plant's EnMS, identifying three nonconformities and proposing corrective actions.
• **Case Studies:** Analyzing the successful ISO 50001 certification journey of a major international corporation and its resulting energy savings.
• **Group Activities:** Collaborative development of an Energy Policy and the scope/boundaries for a multi-site commercial organization.
• **Individual Exercises:** Performing an Energy Review on a conceptual facility's utility bills to identify the top three Significant Energy Uses (SEUs).
• **Mini-Case Studies:** Rapid evaluation of a proposed EnPI and determining if it accurately tracks the organization's energy performance.
• **Syndicate Discussions:** Debating the challenges of maintaining employee engagement and accountability in a long-term EnMS.
• **Role-Play:** Simulating a Management Review meeting, presenting performance data and requesting resources for improvement.
