Today’s global challenge is meeting energy demand in a sustainable way. Access to clean, secure and efficient  energy supply has been increasingly important and is a central concern for policy maker. Effective use of energy  could bring about a three-fold impact :- improving energy security, reducing energy cost and minimizing adverse  environmental impacts due to energy consumption. For business operating in highly competitive global environment, there are pressing needs to maximize operational efficiencies of the equipment and systems installed. To support the initiatives Malaysia has introduced the Efficient Management of Electrical Energy Regulation 2008 (EMEER) under Energy Commission. EMEER requires any installation that generates or consumes more than 3,000,000 kWh in 6 consecutive months to appoint a Registered Electrical Energy Manager (REEM).

In the region, the ASEAN Centre of Energy (ACE) supported by European Union(EU) and United Nation Environment Program (UNEP) has developed Energy Management Gold Standard under ASEAN Energy Management Scheme (AEMAS) that provides the system and accreditation standard for Sustainable Energy Management (SEM). SEM  is a process of managing the energy consumption in the organization to assure that energy has been efficiently used. It covers all aspects of energy consumption in the organization and involves not only technological improvement that consumes energy but also looks for the best contribution from end users. The system is more comprehensive than the propose ISO50001 that it focus on actual performance of energy management. In Malaysia, Greentech Malaysia is the endorsed party to train, audit and accredit individual to become Certified Energy Manager (CEM) and Professional Energy Manager (PEM)and accrediting organization for the EMGS certification.  Ir Al-Khairi is the appointed Country Expert  and local trainer to promote and train individual and organization  on the accreditation process as well as the methodology to support the efficient management of energy standard.
