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.

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.

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

Why ISO?

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).

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.

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

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 :2011ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Requirements with guidance for use.

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

– “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?

– “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?

– “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?

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.”

Not as self evident as you may realize.

ENGINEER / TECHNOLOGY VS.

BUSINESS / ADMINISTRATION

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”.

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.

Result

Overhead being apportioned equally over efficient and non-efficient equipment,

processes, and systems.

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.

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%.
