Abstract
The research paper focuses on the assessment of the application of the International Standard ISO 50001 by municipalities to facilitate the implementation of their sustainable energy action plans. Traditional energy management schemes are combined with provisions of the standard by applying measurable energy indicators. The methodology is tested on the Saldus municipality of Latvia. Discussions address crucial issues like availability of energy data, lack of measurable indicators in action plans and challenges in the application of standard procedures in the municipality.
