An effective Energy Management System enable an organisation to establish the sustainable processes to improve energy performance and its proper implementation helps to reduce overall energy cost of an organisation. It can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other environmental impact.

ISO 50001 standard built a framework to develop a policy for;

  • More efficient energy use
  • Supply and continual improvement of energy management system

Benefits:
It also enable an organisation to take a systematic approach to achieve continual improvement of
• Energy performance
• Energy Efficiency
• Energy Conservation

FAQ

What is ISO 50001?

ISO 50001 is a standard of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published in 2011. ISO 50001 was the first international standard for systematic energy management intended to help companies identify potential savings, reduce energy consumption and initiate a continuous energy-related improvement process.

Can ISO 50001 be combined with other certifications?

Yes, the international standard can be implemented entirely according to your corporate needs. ISO 50001 can be used to either establish an independent energy management system or integrate EnMS into an already existing management system. Through a common so-called High Level Structure (HLS), ISO 50001 is compatible with environmental management according to ISO 14001 and quality management according to ISO 9001

Who are the intended users of ISO 50001?

ISO 50001 applies to industrial plants; commercial, institutional, or governmental facilities; and entire organisations. ISO 50001 provides benefits for organizations large and small, in both public and private sectors, in manufacturing and services, in all regions of the world.

What are the specifications of ISO 50001: 2011?

ISO 50001:2011 specifies requirements applicable to energy use and consumption, including measurement, documentation and reporting, design and procurement practices for equipment, systems, processes and personnel that contribute to energy performance. ISO 50001:2011 specifies requirements applicable to energy use and consumption, including measurement, documentation and reporting, design and procurement practices for equipment, systems, processes and personnel that contribute to energy performance.

What are the goals of an ISO 50001 Energy Management System?

  • Identifying cost-saving potential
  • Reducing CO2 emissions
  • Transparent energy flows throughout the organization
  • Process optimization
  • Improvements in energy consumption, efficiency and performance
  • Implementation and assurance of conformance to your energy policy

Can only certain companies be certified according to ISO 50001?

No. ISO 50001 certification is available to all companies regardless of their size or industry. The internationally valid standard covers general requirements for introducing, operating, and further developing an energy management system.

What factors will influence the use of ISO 50001?

ISO 50001 adoption is expected to be driven by factors such as the growth of corporate sustainability programs and the spread of energy management standards along the manufacturing supply chain. Companies may also find the energy and carbon reductions achievable through adherence to the ISO 50001 standard increasingly valuable.

Why should my company care about ISO 50001?

Energy is a critical component of an organisation’s operations and can be one of the largest controllable costs, depending on the activities. Improved energy performance helps organisations maximize the use of their energy sources and energy-related assets, thus reducing both energy cost and consumption. ISO 50001 provides a framework for organizations to make positive contributions toward reducing depletion of energy resources and mitigating worldwide effects of energy use, such as global warming, while improving the efficiency of organisational operations related to energy.

What are the benefits of an energy management system?

  • Profitability:

    Secure your competitive advantages through lower energy costs.

  • Positive energy balance:

    Reduce your CO2 emissions and maximize your energy efficiency.

  • Improved branding:

    Documents energy awareness and performance improvement initiatives to demonstrate to your customers how important sustainability and energy efficiency is to you.

  • Employee awareness:

    Raise your staff’s awareness of the importance of increasing the efficient use of energy
