15. ISO14000 The ISO14000 environmental management standards were created to help organizations reduce their impact on the environment. They concentrate on processes rather than products in a similar way to ISO9000. Certification is performed by third-party organizations and ISO19011 can cover both.

16. List of ISO 14000 series standards http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_14000 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_14031 ISO 14001 Environmental management systems—Requirements with guidance for use ISO 14004 Environmental management systems—General guidelines on principles, systems and support techniques ISO 14015 Environmental assessment of sites and organizations ISO 14020 series (14020 to 14025) Environmental labels and declarations ISO 14030 discusses post production environmental assessment ISO 14031 Environmental performance evaluation—Guidelines ISO 14040 series (14040 to 14049), Life Cycle Assessment, LCA, discusses pre-production planning and environment goal setting. ISO 14050 terms and definitions. ISO 14062 discusses making improvements to environmental impact goals. ISO 14063 Environmental communication—Guidelines and examples ISO 14064 Measuring, quantifying, and reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions. ISO 19011 which specifies one audit protocol for both 14000 and 9000 series standards together.

17. Carbon Footprint http://www.carbonfootprint.com/sme.html Align with International best practice / standards such as ISO14064, Publicly Available Specification 2050 (PAS2050) and Publicly Available Specification 2060 (PAS2060)

18. Development Your own System http://www.epa.gov/EMS/info/index.htm Plan Identify areas for improvement develop a strategy and set goals. Do Try to implement the strategy Check Measure performance against goals Act Review progress and modify the plan if necessary

22. Analyze Your Electricity Bill Approximate cost of 1 watt per year = £1 Current Annual Electricity Bill= £660 Average daily cost (from graphs and tables) = £500 White Goods and Lighting= £160

23. Identify Potential Savings

24. Set Improvement Targets Save over £100 PA by switching things off rather than leaving them on Standby. Save over £50 PA by buying a more efficient desktop PC. Investigate Solar PV to top up electricity.

25. Monitor Progress Keep a close eye on electricity graphs. Keep a tally on electricity meter readings. Compare Electricity bills. Look for further savings.

26. Questions and Discussions Save Money Comply with regulations Take a responsible approach to Carbon Reduction and Green Issues
