Abstract
The main goal of the work is to identify the factors that optimize the energy consumption in service organizations. The article has been based on the results of the observation of service organizations from the automotive industry. The author has formulated the concept of conscious energy management in service organizations on the basis of selected requirements constituting the content of the ISO 50001:2011 Standard. It is shown in the paper that the problem of supervised energy consumption has been gaining more importance lately because of the fact that natural resources of energy are getting smaller. In some cases, the implementation of supervised (and/or systematic) energy management system is related to facilitating compliance with legal requirements. Often, energy management makes it possible to increase the company’s profit. It has been shown that simple operations such as the identification of the place of energy consumption, the installation of automatic device switches and the analysis of the costs of energy bills saves energy consumption. The organization costs are reduced when energy consumption is taken into account during the management. It turns out that incorporation of only selected requirements of the ISO 50001:2011 Standard into a general concept of service organization management improves energy management.
