The purpose of this paper is to propose a practical framework that integrates energy and environmental management systems to satisfy the monitoring and verification requirements of facilities energy conservation and greenhouse gas emissions reduction; these requirements are essential for organisations to access financing mechanisms, such as carbon funds. As a reference point, the framework uses the ISO 50001 standard, which pertains to an organisation’s energy management procedures. This framework is enriched with elements from other standards, such as ISO 14001 (environmental management system) and ISO 14064 (GHG verification system). The framework also incorporates sound technology management practices and other obligations, such as those arising from international law. It, thus, allows for the systematic quantification, assessment and forecasting of the energy and environmental footprints of facilities throughout their life cycles, enabling them to qualify for carbon funds.

Abstract-Sustainability is one of the most significant challenges that societies face today. Over recent years environmental considerations have become an important part of all projects and companies are integrating sustainability in their strategy. The need for sustainability is the crucial factor for projects success and project management as a key skill need to develop to execute and guide the project in a sustainable way. The purpose of this work is to discuss the concept of sustainability, highlighting it application in project management and introducing the potential area of integration of sustainability idea in project management. Consequently aiming at providing the insight and increasing the awareness of project oriented organizations concerning sustainability issue.Index Terms-Sustainable business and technology, sustainable project management, environmental engineering, education in sustainable development.
