Because of the growing problem of global warming, the countries all around the world promote all kinds of carbon reduction measures to control the earth temperature increasing not more than 2 degree. In general making the energy usage more efficiently is the best way to decrease green gas emission, thus saving energy and improving energy efficiency have become important issues for all countries and enterprises. Because of the lack of appropriate management mechanisms, the enterprises always fail to maintain the energy saving effect continually. ISO announced the ISO 50001 EnMS (Energy Management System) standard on June 15, 2011. The standard can be applied in all size organizations and lay emphasis on quantifying the performance of energy saving and systematic data management. The standard introduces the control cycle of PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) to help the enterprises to improve energy efficiency performance continually. This paper introduces a cloud service-based energy management system based on ISO 50001 and the related automatic management features. The cloud service-based energy management system could be a useful tool for the enterprises to make energy management effective and stable.
