The CEN/CENELEC Sector Forum Energy Management was created in 2006 as a joint CEN and CENELEC platform aiming at facilitating the exchange of information between the different stakeholders, coordinating and identifying the standardization needs in the field of energy management.
The creation of this Sector Forum was one of the recommendations of the CEN/CENELEC BT Joint Working Group on Energy Management (2002 - 2005) which in its final report identified a series of standardization priorities in the field of energy management and advised to create a platform to develop a common general strategy for the improvement of energy efficiency standardization.
