What is it about?
To find out the implications of ISO 50001: 2001 quality management system on the textile finishing sector and to identify the research areas for efficient energy utilization based on the quality management practices. Optimistically, the identified research subjects will provide an effective solution for energy crisis. Textile finishing in terms of improved energy performance and reduced energy consumption is explored to assist the possible elimination of energy crisis through energy management.

Why is it important?
1. Assisting an improvement in the use of the existing energy- consuming assets 2. Introducing the transparency and facilitate communication for the management of energy resources 3. Promoting the motivation for energy management- best practices 4. Evaluating and prioritizing the implementation of energy- efficient technologies 5. Developing a framework over the supply chain for energy efficient practices 6. Supporting the improvement for greenhouse gas emission reduction projects 7. Other management systems including environmental, health and safety can be integrated with this (ISO 50001) energy management standard.
Perspectives
Textile industry is indeed one of the major energy consumers. Therefore, approaches introducing reduced energy processing of textiles in association with the standard energy management practices would be in obvious demand. Energy management standard is particularly desired for energy- intensive industrial sectors.
