Additional / Useful Information
The following website contains additional
information and excellent links regarding the
ISO 50001 program.
www.A1Solutions.net

3.
What is ISO 50001?
ISO 50001 is an Energy Management
System that when correctly
implemented will lead to increased
energy efficiency, reductions in
energy consumption and costs and
reductions in greenhouse gas
emissions and other environmental
impacts.

4.
What is an Energy Management
System and what are the benefits?
• An energy management program allows a
company to understand and manage its use
of energy.
• It involves the examination of all the systems,
processes, procedures, personnel and
equipment to determine those that have a
significant impact on its energy use,
consumption and efficiency.

5.
Benefits (contd.)
• With this fulsome picture the
company can then accurately
manage its existing operations and
plan future developments
• It is able to
– identify, and prioritize potential
energy saving opportunities.
– Schedule future opportunities as per
cost and benefits.
– Explore new possibilities in light of
potential cost benefits

6.
Why ISO?

7.
Why ISO 50001?
History
• In 2007 the United Nations Industrial Development
Organization (UNIDO)as a response to the proliferation of
National standards asked ISO to consider the development
of an International Energy Standard.
• U.S. Department of Energy (D.O.E.) and the American
National Standards Institute felt that a united and
concerted effort was needed in tackling the widespread
inefficiencies in industry.
– From these discussions ANSI also formally requested ISO to develop
this standard
• In February of 2008 ISO Project Committee 242- Energy
Management was formed led by the U.S (ANSI) and Brazil,
Associacao Brasileira de Normas Tecnicas (ABNT).

8.
History contd.
Mandate
To achieve standardization in the field of energy
management including
• Energy Supply
• Procurement practices for energy consuming
equipment and systems
• Energy use (lighting, ventilation, cooling etc.)
• Any use-related disposal issues
In addition the standard would address measurement of current
energy usage, and the implementation of a measurement
system to document, report and validate continuous
improvement in the area of energy management.

9.
Mandate contd.
The new ISO 50001 standard would:
• Establish a framework for industrial
plants, commercial facilities or
entire organizations (regardless of
size) to manage energy.
• Have broad applicability across
national economic sectors,
potentially influencing up to 60% of
the world’s energy use.

Why ISO?
Who / What is ISO?
– ISO = International Organization for
Standardization
– Membership of 160 national bodies
including Bureau of Standards
– “Provides businesses, government and
society with practical tools for all three
dimensions of sustainable development
• Economic, Environmental, and Social”
– Standards facilitate trade, spread
knowledge, disseminate innovative
advances in technology and share good
management practices

12.
Who / What is ISO contd.?
– Standards are developed only when there is a
clear market requirement and are done by experts
in the respective subject areas.
– The ISO standard “represents a global consensus
on the state of the art in the subject of that
standard”

ISO 50001 :2011
ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Requirements with guidance for use.

14.
ISO 50001
– NEW - at last report 33 U.S. organizations
including 3M, Alcoa, Dow Chemical
– Gives organizations the requirements for energy
management systems
– Provides benefits for organizations large and
small in both public and private sectors, in
manufacturing and services in all regions of the
world
– Will establish a framework for industrial plants;
commercial, institutional and governmental
facilities and entire organizations to manage
energy.
– Adaptable to all industrial /commercial entities
– Adaptable to all cultures and countries
– Certification offered

15.
– “Individual organizations cannot control energy prices,
government policies or the global economy, but they
can improve the way they manage energy in the here
and now.
– Improved energy performance can provide rapid
benefits for an organization by maximizing the use of
its energy sources and energy-related assets, thus
reducing both energy cost and consumption.
– The organization will also make positive contributions
toward reducing depletion of energy resources”
ISO 50001 – Why important?

16.
– “It will provide public and private sector
organizations with management strategies to
increase energy efficiency
– Reduce costs
– Improve energy performance
– Will integrate energy performance into
management practice (culture)
– Multinationals will have a single standard
applicable across all entities”
ISO 50001 – What will it do?

17.
– “Plan – conduct the energy review and establish
the baseline, energy performance indicators
(EnPIs), objectives, targets and action plans
necessary to deliver results in accordance with
opportunities to improve energy performance and
the organization’s energy policy
– Do – Implement the energy management action
plan(s)”
ISO 50001 – How does it Work?

18.
ISO 50001 – How does it
Work? Contd.,
– “Check – Monitor and measure
processes and the key characteristics
of its operations that determine
energy performance against the
energy policy and objectives and
report the results.
– Act – Take actions to continually
improve energy performance and the
Energy Management System.”

THE UNIT COST OF ENERGY!
Not as self evident as you may
realize.

22.
ENGINEER / TECHNOLOGY
VS.
BUSINESS / ADMINISTRATION

23.
Analysis
Engineering
• Highly specialized in
technical areas.
• Trained and oriented
towards the execution of
projects.
• Calculations &
communication – Tech
speak.
• Financial and qualitative
benefits not elevated.
F&A, Operations, Marketing,
Admin
• Focus on production not on
efficiency.
• Lack of technical training on
systems and energy
efficiency.
• Calculations &
communication - Business/
Admin speak.
• The financial impact of
technical rolled into lump
sums “Overhead”.

24.
Engineer vs. Management
contd.
In the past we could get away with
such a situation however it
resulted in
• Technical overlays – efficient
working with or over inefficient
systems, equipment, processes.
• No real understanding of the
energy cost of the various sub
systems and their respective
contributions.

25.
Result
Overhead being apportioned equally over
efficient and non-efficient equipment,
processes, and systems.

26.
Result
ABC Costing
Recall the transformations of businesses as a
result.
– Product lines reorganized with priority given to
those with higher margin contribution.
– The parallel is what ISO 50001 is bringing to what
has been a cloudy, nebulous area and why early
movers are all reporting significant gains.

27.
Types of results being
achieved
• The majority of industrial
enterprises that have implemented
EnMS have reported annual
average declines in energy intensity
of 2.0 – 3.0%.
• However those that have
implemented for the first time
have reductions in the first 2 years
in the order of 10 – 20%.

28.
