Talk presented at: IETC 2014, .Industrial Energy Technology Conference, New Orleans. Author: Paul F Monaghan PhD, CEO Enerit Ltd, paul.monaghan@enerit.com, http://ie.linkedin.com/in/paulfmonaghan
This paper draws on real experience of implementing ISO 50001 and Superior Energy Performance (SEP) in USA and Europe in a variety of sectors: pharmaceutical, automotive, medical device, metals and plastics, universities & ICT. The paper aims to give high-level practical guidance on implementation of these types of energy management system (EnMS)
US DoE has reported substantial extra savings with an EnMS approach. However, there are a number of challenges to: getting started; and making continuous improvement with EnMS.
Firstly, the expression “Energy Management System” means different things to different people. In this paper, we explain what the difference is between EnMS, as meant by ISO 50001/SEP and the general class of Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS), which include monitoring systems and corporate energy/carbon reporting systems.
The next problem is “getting started” with EnMS. In this paper, we first explain identify that there are two key reasons for people to adopt EnMS: These two organizations may start in a different way:
• If the goal is “I want to save more energy in a cost-effective way”, start with an energy review and find ways to visualize how energy is used within the organization.
• If the goal is “I want to get an ISO 50001/SEP certified”, start with a gap assessment.
When some sites in the organization have successfully implemented an EnMS, how do you: ensure that those sites continuously improve; and how do you bring the less advanced sites up to the level of the leading sites?
We believe it is useful to view everything in terms of Energy Management Maturity Models and use this as guidance along the path from start-up through to embedded continuous energy management improvement. Factors that we have found useful in successful rollouts are visualization tools e.g.: Sankey diagrams - show energy flows; Spider diagrams; Dashboards.
In this paper, we will show examples of these visualizations in real situations.
Biography: Paul F Monaghan has a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Queen’s University Canada. After an early career as an energy engineering consultant, he became a tenured Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Ireland. He left to found two start-up software companies, QSET and Enerit and lived in USA & Ireland. His focus has been on energy and software for over 30 years. Today, he leads Enerit which has delivered ISO 50001 software in Europe, Americas and Asia to organizations like: Pfizer, Medimmune, Fiat, Boston Scientific, Nuqul, Harbec, Sage and Asia Development Bank.

What is EnMS? –Two Aspects
9. Systematic Energy Management
Management commitment,
Resources, Planning
Understanding your
energy usage and how
to control it
Develop and energy
efficiency culture
Balance of all 3 for
successful
Energy Management
Focus today:
Organization & People
10. Bringing it back home
Visualize YOUR Energy Saving Opportunities
Identify waste and opportunities early

guesstimation-sankey-visualization-096549/
12. Key Point – Really find Energy end-uses e.g.
Low-volume high-end Pharma. company
o 80% clean-room AHU’s>>
• Focus on regulatory change
University campus
o Most energy under control of academic depts. >>
• Focus - empowering staff: training; self audits
• Future: capital spend on controls
Both – involved energy team + others
FindYour Energy Starting Position
13. Many bad M&T system designs:
o 100:1 sensors for 50/50 Elect./Thermal -Why?
o Overwhelmed with 15 min. data
But what is big message?
o How linked to your goals and real end-uses?
Go slower – get it right
o Don’t fear “guesstimating”
o Spend wisely – even on expensive single items
• e.g. Big steam meter if relevant
Monitoring first? … Maybe not!
14. Get ManagementCommitment – the key
o Build the Business Case - Market to the CEO
o Most failures – switching priorities
– Can’t stay on the job
Get Integrated -
o Link up with the teams and systems that look after
environment, quality & health and safety
o They bring standards & compliance knowledge
o They will look after the management systems side
o Best implementations have combined teams
Getting Started –Two Big Points
15. Organizations get ISO 50001/SEP for 2 reasons:
o Save cost of energy – examples later
o Get certified
Figure out BUSINESS drivers to get certified:
o Your competitors are doing it – driven by customers
o Show “Green” credentials e.g. Harbec
o Demonstrate proven Best Practice in organization
o Tax Rebates or other cash benefits, e.g. Germany
Why should your org. go EnMS?
16. Getting Management Persuaded

19. Why ISO 50001 EnMS? – Evidence
speaks for itself!
BSI Group ...Sheffield Hallam University in the UK reduced its
carbon emissions by 11% once it was certified.
Annual savings of over £100,000 ($160.7k).
Deloitte research has shown that organizations pursuing a
systematic energy management approach are achieving three
times more savings that those who do not (7.2% versus 2.4 %.)
The range of savings found by Certification Europe are from 6-
37%.
20. Pfizer – A Big Company Example
• “At Pfizer Loughbeg, we have reduced our electricity and gas use
since 2009 by 30%.
• The adoption of EN16001 followed by our successful certification
to ISO 50001 forced us to focus on our significant energy uses.
• Our work to date in energy management has led us to seek out the
most efficient operational profile that satisfies our regulatory and
corporate quality standards.”
Paul Farrell, Site Energy Lead,
Pfizer Loughbeg Drug Product Plant

21. NewYork State
• 1996 – ISO 9001
“it taught us to do what we say
and say what we do”
• 2000 – ISO 14001
“Knowing that 9001 made us
accountable in quality systems,
we anticipated that 14001 would
give us similar improvement in
areas of environmental
impact..”
o 1st wind turbine
• 2013 – ISO 50001 / SEP -
carbon neutral
o “..marketing carbon
neutrality in every part they
manufacture and to prove
it…”
o Target 15% savings over 3
years – SEP Platinum – 16.4%
achieved
• 2014 – ISO 13485 – quality
for medical devices
o Decision to use Enerit
software for all ISO systems.
22. Benefits
Employee Engagement: People are now taking the time to think
“How can we decrease energy usage!”
Systemic Approach to Achieving Energy Cost Savings: tools to
measure and monitor going forward in the future.
Continual Energy Efficiency Improvement: “..leads to more new
product development … more energy efficiency in equipment
performance…”
Low Implementation Costs with High ROI: No costly new
equipment or major changes. Less than the full-time effort of one
employee, but had the support and encouragement of
management.

25. 6600 ISO 50001 certs globally to March 2014
The real early adopter is Germany
o 50% of world total – via tax rebates (rest<<5%)
Forecasted number of certs is 230,000 by 2022
o Less than 4% certified already!
Verdantix survey
o 25% of companies will invest in next 12 months
o in the US, 14% expect to invest in ISO 50001 at the
enterprise level
ISO 50001 Adoption
26. Logical next Best Practice Step
Building on existing management systems is easier
than you think
27. Integrate with Other Standards

29. Set up Communications toWider Staff
Tracking is crucial:
o Not just energy & EnPI numbers, but also
o The organization’s “Way ofWorking”
Get all information in one place – min. Admin!
Visualize to motivate
Integrate with other systems

36. Conclusions
EnMS: different from EMIS or BAU
Energy savings: 6-37%; SEP – 10%, 1.7 yr payback
Start well:
Persuade management – the material is there – use it!
Team up with EHS&Q for MS – skills & people-time
Design better M&T after end-use estimates
Pinpoint energy end-use – changes everything
Build or buy an EnMS ICT support – add to M&T
37. Conclusions
For implementation & continuing success:
Integrate with EHS & Q systems
Maximize communication & accountability
Minimize administration cost
Visualize to motivate & track
Communicate all key managers & gen. staff
Track “way of working”, as well as EnPIs & actions
Bottom line: this is not compliance – it’s a common
sense way of working
