ISO 50001 - the Energy Management System

The essential solution for the rational management of energy resources

What is the ISO 50001 standard

ISO 50001 is the voluntary international standard intended for all types of companies, of any size and sector, which aims to develop a management system and processes necessary for the continuous improvement of their energy performance by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The objectives of the ISO 50001 Energy Management System

Energy represents an increasingly significant cost item in the overall balance sheet of companies. ISO 50001 allows you to maximize the use of energy resources in business activities, promoting a more informed use of energy, eliminating waste and reducing consumption, following a systematic approach whose objectives are:

  • improvement of the company’s significant energy uses
  • reduction of costs for incoming energy carriers
  • promotion of new technologies in the energy efficiency sector
  • planning of objectives and action plans on energy savings and sustainability
  • integration with other management systems in terms of safety, environment, health and quality
  • creation of a corporate energy policy that includes the collection and monitoring phase of data relating to the use of energy

The implementation of the management system is preceded by an energy analysis capable of identifying the advantages deriving from the implementation of interventions on the plants that can lead to significant savings immediately or in the medium-long term, often corresponding to minimal investments.

What are the advantages of the ISO 50001 Energy Management System

The adoption of an energy management system, compliant with the UNI CEI EN ISO 50001 standard, allows to optimize the use of company energy resources with a process of continuous improvement of energy performance, exempting the company from the obligation of Diagnosis. Energy conducted in compliance with Legislative Decree 102/2014 and UNI CEI EN 16247.

It represents the concrete demonstration of its commitment to eco-sustainability, helping to strengthen its accountability in terms of energy management and energy efficiency.

EPS supports your company in the implementation of the ISO 50001 standard

Our team of experts in energy management (EGE UNI CEI 11339) supports the company in defining the necessary requirements for obtaining certification according to the ISO 50001 standard, through measurement activities, preparation of documentation and reporting, design and purchase of equipment, processes and staff training, all factors that impact on the energy performance of the organization.

EPS has structured its work according to the general Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, an applied, interactive management method divided into four connected phases:

  • Plan: definition of objectives, goals and action plans
  • Do: implementation of an effective and targeted action plan for energy management
  • Check: monitoring and analysis of company energy performance
  • Act: development of the SGE as an integral part of the energy policy and energy management of the company

EPS: we design efficiency with an action plan for sustainable energy

The company that decides to adopt the ISO 50001 standard will increase its awareness of the use of energy and the opportunities for improvement that can be realistically achieved with the use of the integrated development of plants for the production of energy from renewable sources.

Our energy consultants, in the context of corporate energy planning, implement the Energy Management System by integrating it with an action plan for sustainable energy, through a specific Energy Management activity that includes not only the continuous improvement of energy consumption performance, but also the periodic training of internal staff dedicated to the Energy Management System.

The training topics concern the energy management of plants, technical and / or process structures and the use of the Energy Management System (EMS) platform for monitoring the most significant energy uses.
