The document discusses the integration of software solutions for achieving ISO 50001 standards in energy management, highlighting the importance of tailored software for medium and large energy users. It presents customer requirements for energy management functionalities and software integration, while addressing decision-making on whether to make, buy, or subscribe to such solutions. Enerit software is emphasized as a comprehensive tool to meet these needs and support effective energy management practices globally.

1. The use of software in achieving
ISO 50001
NSAI and Engineers Ireland Seminar:
“The future of Energy Management in Ireland: Best Practice and Standards
in Energy Management”
Dublin , 18th October 2011
Paul F Monaghan PhD CEng FIEI

2. Agenda
Background – software for ISO 9001/14001, Monitoring and
Targeting (M&T) and BMS
Requirements – interviewing large energy users about needs
for ISO 50001 software
Integration – with existing ISO 14001/9001 systems at large
energy users
Financial Decisions – "make, buy or subscribe" decisions – ROI
& Value

3. Experience in ISO 50001 Software
Our focus is software for: How we deliver: Enerit software is for:
Systematic energy Delivery over Internet - Sector:
management Cloud (SaaS) Industry,

5. Background
– software for ISO 9001/14001
Many ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 software products now
Since mid-1990’s
Worldwide use of products
Internal solutions also are well established
Core functionality:
Document management
Corrective actions (CAPA)
Audit management

6. Background
– software for M&T, BMS, Carbon
Many Monitoring & Targeting software products
Some Building Management Systems (BMS or BEMS) have data
collection , as well as control
Corporate Carbon and Energy Reporting systems are used by
companies with a strong CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)
These products do supply partial coverage of ISO 50001
requirements such as: monitoring; management review;
communication

7. Background – summary
Lot of software which touches aspects of ISO 50001
The questions are:
What are the needs of medium & large energy users?
What software gaps are there?
What software requirements need to be delivered?
Therefore we did:
Market Research
Requirements Gathering
In 2006 & 2011

8. Requirements & Integration–

16. Financial:
Make/Buy/Subscribe Decisions
ROI and Value

17. Make/Buy/Subscribe Decisions
Should you “make” – i.e. build it in-house?
Should you “buy” a product, i.e. capital cost + annual
maintenance?
Should you subscribe for a product, i.e. monthly subscription?

18. Why “Make” it in-house?
Main reason: “it costs nothing”
This is true only if you consider your time and your colleagues’
time to be of no value.

19. Why “Buy” or “Subscribe”?
What you see is what you get
You have good cost control – upfront pricing
Speed of implementation
Tried and tested – others certified with product
Guaranteed upgrade path - continuously improved
You have a guaranteed maintenance
Improvement suggestions from other customers
Not dependent for coding on a single staff member
Not dependent on internal IT team’s resources

20. “Buy” versus “Subscribe”?
When you “buy”:
You own the software
You pay a capital cost upfront
You pay maintenance each year (< subscription)
Software installed on servers and pcs
When you “subscribe”:
You use the software as long as you want
No upfront capital cost
Only cost is monthly subscription
Low risk to try out – if you don’t like, just stop paying
Only need a web browser

21. People involved
Energy manager
Environmental manager
Other managers
Energy team
General staff
Others

22. Time Saved
Activity People Value: € for time
saved/wk, /mth, /yr
Creating energy aspects and SEUs
Identifying ESOs
Planning
Managing/tracking actions
Meetings
Doing monthly reports
Doing audits
Looking for energy information
Other?

23. ROI: The Value Question
Is this of value to you?
Think about:
Pains – various people have today
Time-savings – that people could make
Extra Energy savings - possible with automation

24. Extra Energy Savings via Automation
Activity %?, kWh? Value, €
Big projects better managed
Small projects not otherwise done
Getting actions done by others (not energy
team) – production staff
Auto’d reminders: energy awareness
Allowing staff to see energy info, league
tables, performance etc.
Better organisation and speed
Certainty about decisions
Other?
