ISO 50001

NSAI and Engineers Ireland Seminar:

“The future of Energy Management in Ireland: Best Practice and Standards

in Energy Management”

Dublin , 18th October 2011

Paul F Monaghan PhD CEng FIEI

Agenda

Background – software for ISO 9001/14001, Monitoring and

Targeting (M&T) and BMS

Requirements – interviewing large energy users about needs

for ISO 50001 software

Integration – with existing ISO 14001/9001 systems at large

energy users

Financial Decisions – "make, buy or subscribe" decisions – ROI

& Value

Experience in ISO 50001 Software

Our focus is software for:

Systematic energy management

Automating all aspects of ISO 50001

Delivery over Internet - Cloud (SaaS)

Monthly subscription (no capital cost)

How we deliver: Enerit software is for:

Sector:

Industry,

Building Stocks.

2011- ISO 50001 launched globally

Innovating to meet the ISO standard in Energy

Management from the beginning

2004 2006 2008 2010 2011

Background

– software for ISO 9001/14001

Many ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 software products now

Since mid-1990’s

Worldwide use of products

Internal solutions also are well established

Core functionality:

Document management

Corrective actions (CAPA)

Audit management

Background

– software for M&T, BMS, Carbon

Many Monitoring & Targeting software products

Some Building Management Systems (BMS or BEMS) have data

collection , as well as control

Corporate Carbon and Energy Reporting systems are used by

companies with a strong CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)

These products do supply partial coverage of ISO 50001 requirements such as: monitoring; management review;

communication

Background – summary

Lot of software which touches aspects of ISO 50001

The questions are:

What are the needs of medium & large energy users?

What software gaps are there?

What software requirements need to be delivered?

Therefore we did:

Market Research

Requirements Gathering

In 2006 & 2011

Requirements & Integration–

interviewing large energy users

about needs for ISO 50001

software

Make/Buy/Subscribe Decisions

ROI and Value

Make/Buy/Subscribe Decisions

Should you “make” – i.e. build it in-house?

Should you “buy” a product, i.e. capital cost + annual

maintenance?

Should you subscribe for a product, i.e. monthly subscription?

Why “Make” it in-house?

Main reason: “it costs nothing”

This is true only if you consider your time and your colleagues’

time to be of no value.

Why “Buy” or “Subscribe”?

What you see is what you get

You have good cost control – upfront pricing

Speed of implementation

Tried and tested – others certified with product

Guaranteed upgrade path - continuously improved

You have a guaranteed maintenance

Improvement suggestions from other customers

Not dependent for coding on a single staff member

Not dependent on internal IT team’s resources

“Buy” versus “Subscribe”?

When you “buy”:

You own the software

You pay a capital cost upfront

You pay maintenance each year (< subscription)

Software installed on servers and pcs

When you “subscribe”:

You use the software as long as you want

No upfront capital cost

Only cost is monthly subscription

Low risk to try out – if you don’t like, just stop paying

Only need a web browser

ROI: The Value Question

Is this of value to you?

Think about:

Pains – various people have today

Time-savings – that people could make

Extra Energy savings - possible with automation

Extra Energy Savings via Automation

Activity %?, kWh? Value, €

Big projects better managed

Small projects not otherwise done

Getting actions done by others (not energy

team) – production staff

Auto’d reminders: energy awareness

Allowing staff to see energy info, league

tables, performance etc.

Better organisation and speed

Certainty about decisions

Other?

Thank you
