Introduction to ISO 50001
ISO 50001 is is an energy
management system guidance. It provides specifications that have been developed
by the international organisation for standardization in order to implement an
Energy Management System. This ISO 50001 standard provides requirements for
developing implementing and thereafter managing and improving Energy Management
System. The purpose of this energy management system is to help an organisation
to establish a systematic process in order to achieve continuous improvement in
energy performance indicator. Through
this energy management system corporate ship to achieve energy efficiency,
energy security as well as improves sustainability performance. This energy
management system helps companies in reducing their energy use and also the associated
cost as well as the greenhouse gas emissions that happen from energy
consumption. ISO 50001 one was developed in the year 2011 and can be
implemented for any type of organization regardless of its size sector or
location. The updated version of ISO 50001
was released in the year 2018. This energy management system is modelled on ISO
9001 which is a quality management system and also is compatible with the ISO
14001 environmental management system.
Through this energy management system,
ISO 50001 companies seek to achieve improved energy performance and reduced
their energy intensity and also identify energy reduction opportunities which
also lead to cost reductions. This ISO 50001 guidance provides a systematic
approach for organizations which we can follow and achieve energy targets. A
consistent Energy Management shall help corporates in realizing the untapped
energy efficiency potential as well as Greenhouse gas mitigation potential. The
companies are expected to benefit from savings on energy cost as well as
contribute significantly to climate change mitigation by reducing the emissions
of carbon dioxide. This standard shall also help in employee awareness and in
particular the training of the management level employees on Energy Management
processes. The ISO 50001 has been designed in line with other ISO management
systems so that it can be seamlessly integrated with other ISO systems. This
ISO 50001 also follows the PDCA cycle which is plan-do-check-act. The ISO
guideline has the following major components:
1. Scope
2. References
3. Definitions
4. Context
5 Leadership requirements
6 Planning
7. Supporting
8. Operations
9. Performance evaluation
10. Improvement
GE3S has experience in
implementing ISO 50001 systems across sectors and geographies. If you are
looking forward to achieving energy efficiency and reducing their energy
intensity as well as helping the environment by reducing carbon dioxide
emissions then get in touch with us so that I can help you implement the energy
management system and you can reduce your energy cost as well as intensity.
