ISO 50001

What is an Energy Management System?

Owing to the rapid economic growth of countries, it has become increasingly challenging to meet the energy needs of the consumers. The challenge can only be met by managing energy more efficiently and effectively. This can be achieved through a “Energy Management System”.

Therefore, an Energy Management System (EnMS)can be defined as “the part of the Overall Management System that is used to establish energy policy, energy objectives, processes that are aimed at improving theenergy performance, which encompasses energy efficiency, energy use and consumption of energy”.

The ISO has published a standard that can be used to establish an Environmental Management System. It is the ISO 50001 Standard.

What is ISO 50001?

The ISO 50001 is an international standard that ensures that the organizations follow the best energy management practices. Inzinc Consulting can help you document, implement, maintain and improve the ISO 50001 EnMS so that you can save energy, reduce unnecessary energy costs and satisfy the requirements related to the environment. The current version of the standard is ISO 50001:2011 – Energy Management Systems – Requirements with Guidance for Use which was published on June 17, 2011.
The ISO 50001 standard is based on PDCA or Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology for continual improvement of an Energy Management System.

Advantages of implementing an Energy Management System as per ISO 50001

The advantages of implementing an Energy Management System (EnMS) as per the requirements of the ISO 50001 standard are as given below:

• EnMS provide a basis to measure and monitor energy usage and notify opportunities to improve energy efficiency. Improvement of energy efficiency in turn contributes to the conservation of energy.
• Continually improves organizational performance in terms of reducing energy consumption and hence reduce energy costs
• Energy Management System helps to reduce carbon footprint and satisfy government reduction targets
• A well established EnMS helps to reduce the depletion of energy resources. This in turn will help in reducing effects such as global warming.
• Show that the organization has demonstrated social responsibility with respect to energy and environment and hence enhance business opportunities
• EnMS can be recommended even to supply chains whose processes or products or services affect the energy performance.
• EnMS enables to formulate the right energy strategy for the organization for optimum utilization of organization’s assets.

Which are the type of organizations who can implement and get certified to ISO 50001?

The ISO 50001 applies to industrial plants; commercial, institutional, or governmental facilities; and entire organizations. 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.
