Why Companies get certified
o Save cost of energy
o Demonstrate Best Practice
o Tax Rebates, e.g. Germany
o Energy Audits directive (UK ESOS, SI 286)
o Competitors are doing it
o Driven by customers
o “Green” credentials
approach are 13.7% versus Business-as-Usual approach of 3.6%.

ISO 50001 – Its worth doing!
Get Management Commitment – the keyo Build the Business Case - Market to the CEO/CFO
– (i.e. Management Responsibility)
o Most failures – switching priorities– Can’t stay on the job
Get Integrated -o Link up with the teams and systems that look after environment,
quality & health and safetyo They bring standards & compliance knowledge o They will help look after the management systems sideo Best implementations have combined teams
Getting Started – Two Big Points
Getting Started - Follow a program

Many guides available
Treat as a project
Implementation Tasks assigned and tracked to completion
Energy Review
“…the software facilitated a more intuitive understanding of the facility’s energy profile…”
Analyze energy use and consumptiono Use available data, e.g.
• Bills, existing meter data
• Energy Audits (ESOS)
• Industry Benchmarks
• Equipment inventory and ratings
Quickly visualize your Energy and Identify waste and savings opportunities early
Determine Significant Energy Uses (SEUs)
Improvement Opportunities
• Suggestions
• Staff meetings
• Brainstorming workshops
• Energy Audits
• Benchmarking
• Energy saving tips
• Review case studies
• Listen
• Metering reviews
• Maintenance reports
• Review new technologies
• Seminars, conferences
• Engineering analysis techniques and modelling
• Lean, Six Sigma,
• Kaizen Energy Treasure Hunts
Best Practice / Playbooks
Best practice playbooks or guidelines
o Schools, Airports, Hotels

Database of IOs triggering actions in integrated EnMS software
Prioritising Opportunities
Consider:
• Estimated energy savings
• Business impacts/priorities
• Return on Investment
• Cost
• Complexity
• Environmental impacts
• Legal requirements
• Risk
• Funding
• Non-energy benefits
Organisation can decide on its own criteria
Quantitative &
Qualitative
Energy Performance Indicators
EnPIs
o Multi-site • Corporate reporting
• League tables
o Individual sites/hotels• Process, Asset and
equipment level
• Integration with existing metering data
Management (Compliance!)
Technical• Most customers great at the energy
stuff• All that needed is structuring around
the ISO 50001 Energy Planning requirements
Management• Customers a little more unsure of!• Support from ISO 14001 team.• Much of the documented information
required is there already but needs to be structured and control demonstrated.
Not just about compliance!
Document Management
Much of the information required was available alreadyNeeded to be structured to relate to the EnMS and to the ISO 50001 requirementsSome specific “procedures” were required (e.g. Energy Review Process”
Auditing & Nonconformities
Probably least exciting part of all!
Tends to be neglected or left to end as a certification issue
Support from ISO 14001 team or external support from consultant and certification bodies
Scheduling of audits o Particularly for multiple MS avoid
conflict or else integrate
Remote auditing o Multisiteo save time and costs
What?
• ISO 50001 is a globally recognized framework for energy management
• Best practice (and rigorous) approach
• Not compliance – common sense way of working
• ICT provides many benefits to implementing ISO 50001
Why?
• Energy savings or part of corporate sustainability programme
• Achieve certification quicker
• 3-4 times more savings than project based approach with payback (DoE SEP)
How?
•Use dedicated ICT systems (buy off the shelf and not customization) to:
structure and systemize your approach
Manage your information and communicate with all managers and staff
Visualize to motivate and track
Make informed decisions on selection of energy efficiency projects
Make energy performance and management information easily available
Manage auditing and improve management system performance
Reduce risk with key staff turnover and loss of system knowledge
Conclusions
It is a Journey – That’s why ICT helps!
