AB  - Efforts are being made to save energy and improve energy efficiency by monitoring energy consumption and optimize the operation of various facilities using energy management systems. Energy management systems consist of various component technologies such as sensors and meters, gateways, databases, data analysis and forecasting, visualization, and facility control, and are used in various fields such as homes, buildings, factories, and industrial complexes. Various standards related to energy management systems are being developed by domestic and international standards development organizations (SDOs) so that efforts to save energy and improve efficiency can be spread in practice. This paper analyzes the status of standards related to energy management systems developed by SDOs. Based on the analysis results, we propose the following strategies to promote standardization in the future: 1) deriving standard development items that incorporate the latest IT technology, 2) selecting standard areas to focus on, 3) developing international standards based on domestic technology, and 4) developing standard patents.
