Ireland has emerged as a global leader in energy management, with over 50% of large Irish companies implementing energy management systems. The Irish government and industry partnerships have helped establish national standards and programs that have encouraged widespread certification. Through the Large Industry Energy Network and standards like IS 393, EN 16001, and now ISO 50001, Ireland has accumulated highly skilled energy management expertise. Certified companies like Pfizer, Google, and University College Cork have identified significant energy savings and operational improvements through certification. The future of energy management in Ireland continues to advance with guidance from standards bodies and the Energy Management Maturity Model being developed by SEAI.

10. What is ISO 50001?
ISO 50001 is the internationally accepted
standard for energy management systems (June
2011)
Adopted by organizations focussed on
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Will be used by 500,000 to 2 million organizations
worldwide
• 200 companies certified (April 2012)
Influence up to 60 % of the world’s energy use. Plan – Do - Check - Act

11. Irish ISO 50001 Certified Companies
• 2010 – 45 LIEN companies with EN 16001 and many of these have already
or in process of transitioning to ISO 50001
• Many others (non-LIEN) also implementing ISO 50001 (e.g. UCC, Thermo
King).
Examples:
• Intel Ireland – “The systematic approach to energy management provided by our Energy
management Systems has provided a valuable structure for engagement within the organisation and
is helping us to identify the priorities for improved energy efficiency. It enables us to continue to do our
best for the planet”
Brendan Cannon, Affairs Director, Intel Ireland
• Google – “Having an energy management system in Google gives us far greater visibility and control
over our energy use and expenditure. Having implemented the energy management system in
Dublin, Google is now expanding the framework across other offices in Europe”
James Bowen, Facilities Manager, Google Dublin
• Diageo – “Developing a sustainable energy efficiency approach across our European Beer Business
continues to be critical to achieving financial targets and our environmental commitments. EnMS are
helping us to shape the thinking and approach to energy across the Diageo business globally.”
Conor Browne, European Beer Leader on Energy Management
Ref: Energy – Ireland Leading the way in Energy Management

12. Irish ISO 50001 Certified Companies
• Pfizer Ireland – “The leadership demonstrated by the Pfizer Ireland sites in pursuing energy
management certification is just another example of their commitment to environmental sustainability.
Their projects are being replicated across Pfizer operations globally.”
Marty Brown, Director, Pfizer Global Engineering
• Dairygold - Dairygold's initial certification to EN16001 in 2010 proved invaluable for us. Our relationship
with SEAI strengthened the EnMS we implemented and paved the way for energy savings in year 1
that exceeded our expectations. In year 2, we increased the scope of target saving areas. Energy
awareness and management are now embedded in our everyday performance. Our impending
transition to ISO 50001 will give our system greater recognition and hone even further the focus on
energy usage and efficiency on-site.’’
Ruth Clancy, Group Energy Manager, Dairygold Food Ingredients
• Abbott- AIPO implemented an EnMS to IS 393 and has since migrated to EN 16001 and then to ISO
50001. Recently the benefits of a certified EnMS were shared with other global Abbott companies
when the Irish experiences at AIPO were presented through an Abbott webinar conference. There
was significant interest and many are seriously considering implementation.
Richard Harrington, Energy Team Leader AIPO
• University College Cork – “Improved operational control of existing equipment and systems has
received a strong focus as a result of implementing ISO 50001. We have been impressed by the new
savings opportunities we have identified, many at low cost”.
Maurice Ahern, Energy Manager

13. Pfizer Ireland
415 projects successfully implemented at Pfizer’s Irish sites over the past 5 years leading to
significant savings in electricity, natural gas and mains water consumption.
Pfizer Loughbeg certified in less than 4 months
Achieved their targets to reduce site energy consumption by 5% annually.
Pfizer Newbridge and Little Island are certified to EN 16001 and Pfizer Loughbeg achieved
ISO 50001 certification in November 2011 after just four months.
Pfizer has found that ISO 50001 is a key enabler that embeds a structure which ensures
energy is managed in an efficient and responsible way.
It enables the efficient management of energy use, raises awareness of energy usage,
engages senior leadership in energy planning, and focuses the site on real energy
opportunities.
It also enables future energy-saving opportunities to be easily identified.
“At Pfizer Loughbeg, we have reduced our electricity and gas use since 2009 by 30%. This
is largely due to joining SEAI’s Energy Agreements Programme and implementing an
effective Energy Management System for the site. The adoption of EN 16001 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

15. The Future of EnMS in Ireland
ISO 50001 - TC 242 – Evolution of new energy standards
Last meeting in Dublin May 2012
Working groups on energy management guidance, baselines & EnPIs, energy
auditing, EnMS Auditing & M&V
International 1-day conference organised by SEAI “Creating the right environment
for ISO 50001 to thrive”
(US DoE developing Superior Energy Performance – ISO 50001 key requirement
of this programme)
SEAI developing the Energy Management Maturity Model (EM3).

16. SEAI Energy Management Maturity Model (EM3)
Common questions are:
What’s next now that we are certified?
Can we do this work without the cost of certification?
How can it be developed further?
The Energy Management Maturity Model:
Promotes the development of energy management as a strategic goal
Complements and integrates with other activities such as corporate social responsibility and
the carbon-reduction agenda
Is applicable at all levels of energy-management engagement, from organisations starting
out to those that have maintained certification to an energy-management standard for some
years
Examines the organisation as a whole and looks at how its practices not only affect its own
energy performance but also that of the value stream and supply chain
Complements EN16001 and ISO 50001
Provides insights into how to improve further once good practices have been embedded.
This model is based on the principle that a mature EnMS will result in further energy and non
energy savings benefits into the future
The system will be deeply integrated within an organisation and its operational
management enabling optimisation.
