What is ISO 50001?
ISO 50001 is a voluntary international standard developed by the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to provide to the
organizations an internationally recognized framework for managing and improving
its energy performance.
The standard covers the following:
Use and consumption of energy.
The measurement, documentation, and reporting of use and consumption of
energy.
Design and acquisition practices for consumer equipment, systems, and processes
of energy.
Development of an energy management plan and other factors that affect it
energy performance that can be monitored and managed by the
organization.
ISO 50001 requires the continuous improvement of energy performance, but does not
include a 'recipe' for setting energy efficiency improvement goals. More

you can set and pursue your own goals to improve your performance

WHAT IS AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?
An energy management system is a series of processes that allows
people with various responsibilities throughout the organization to use the data
and the information to maintain and improve energy efficiency, while
improves operational efficiency, reduces energy intensity, and decreases the
impact on the environment.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF ISO 50001?
In the business world, a popular saying states that you cannot manage what
that cannot be measured. This principle applies to the world of energy management, a
area of growing interest and concern for companies around the world
due to its potential to help control costs, increase efficiency
energy, improving the quality of the environment and enhancing competitiveness.
So far, the absence of a recognized energy management standard
Internationally, it has inhibited the widespread adoption of best practices.
energy management. The new energy management system standard
ISO 50001 international standard overcomes this barrier and offers organizations a
proven approach to develop an energy management plan addressing
critical aspects of energy performance, including energy use,
measurement, documentation, reports, design and acquisition, and other variables that
they affect the management of energy that can be measured and monitored.
The adoption of the ISO 50001 standard is important to establish a more focused approach.
systematic and sustainable management of energy in an installation. The
compliance with the standard provides evidence that an installation has
implemented sustainable energy management systems, has completed a
energy baseline, and has committed to continuous improvement of the
energy performance. The value of the certification will be driven by the forces
of the market within the value chains, by potential programs of
incentives that require ISO 50001, and the relationship of the standard to future policies
of carbon emission mitigation.
WHO DEVELOPED ISO 50001?
ISO created the Project Committee (PC) 242 to carry out the development of the
ISO 50001 standard, which includes the participation of 59 nations (14 of which are
observers). The Department of Energy of the United States of America
supports the role of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in Quality Standards,
as Secretariat of the PC 242 (serving jointly with Brazil), to lead the
international development ISO 50001.
Following the publication of the ISO 50001 standard, the PC 242 transitioned to a Committee.
Technical Committee (TC) 242, which will update the ISO 50001 standard as necessary and
a family of related standards will be developed, such as ISO 50002
Energy audits, ISO 50004 Implementation Guide, ISO 50003 Requirements
for certification bodies, ISO 50006 Energy Performance Indicators
and Energy Baselines.
WHO ARE THE USERS OF ISO 50001?
ISO 50001 applies to industrial plants; commercial facilities,
institutional or governmental; and entire organizations. ISO 50001
provides benefits for large and small organizations, in the
public and private sectors, in manufacturing and services, in all
the regions of the world.
WHY SHOULD MY COMPANY BE INTERESTED IN ISO 50001?
Energy is a critical component of an organization's operations and
Depending on the activities, it can be one of the largest controllable costs.
Improving energy performance helps organizations maximize
use of its energy sources and its energy-related assets,
thus reducing both costs and energy consumption. The ISO 50001
provides a framework for organizations to make
positive contributions towards the reduction of resource depletion
energy sources and the mitigation of the global effects of energy consumption, such
like global warming, while improving efficiency

HOW DOES ISO 50001 RELATE TO ENERGY PERFORMANCE
SUPERIOR (SEP)?
The Superior Energy Performance is a voluntary certification program
industrial plant level. SEP provides guidance, tools, and protocols to
to drive deeper and more sustained savings from ISO 50001.
To obtain SEP certification, the facilities must comply with the
requirements of the ISO 50001 standard (certificate of conformity) and demonstrate a
improvement in energy performance.
HOW DOES ISO 50001 COMPLEMENT EXISTING SYSTEMS
MANAGEMENT (FOR EXAMPLE: ISO 9001, ISO 14001)?
ISO 50001 is based on the same model of continuous improvement management system.
used for the ISO 9001 and 14001 standards. This compatibility makes it more
easy for organizations to integrate energy management into their efforts
quality and environmental management. However, the ISO 50001 standard incorporates new
sections based on data and information related to planning and control
operational and the measurement and monitoring of energy.
What initial steps can my company take to prepare?
FOR THE ADOPTION OF ISO 50001?
Develop an energy policy that includes the commitment of the SGEn from
the senior management.
Identify a management representative to oversee the execution of the SGEn.
Establish a team of representatives from the main operational areas of the
organization.
Decide the boundaries of the SGEn.
Once prepared, start the implementation of an SGEn:
Carry out an energy review to identify significant uses of
energy, its energy consumption, and opportunities for improvement.
Establish an energy baseline.
Identify the energy performance indicators to monitor the
energy performance improvements according to the established baseline.

WHO WILL CERTIFY MY FACILITIES, COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION?
FOR ISO 50001?
It will be evaluated by a competent certification body to certify
organizations that comply with the ISO 50001 standard.
Does my organization need to have ISO 50001 certification for

No. Organizations can take steps to start improving management.
of energy without certification. However, the certification of the ISO 50001 standard
provides a structured approach that incorporates into the company's culture the
energy management, resulting in sustained energy savings and in
continuous improvements in energy performance. This can help justify the
initial investments in energy projects and ensure profitability of the
investment. Without a structured approach, there is no guarantee that energy savings
it will be maintained or that the return on investment will be maximized.
WHAT IS THE GLOBAL ASSOCIATION OF OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE OF
ENERGY (GSEP)?
The Global Superior Energy Performance (GSEP) is working to reduce
significantly global energy consumption, promoting continuous improvement
of energy efficiency in the industrial and commercial construction sectors.
GSEP consists of six working groups, one of which focuses on management.
of energy. The GSEP initiative was launched in 2010 by the Ministerial Conference
of Clean Energy and the International Association for Cooperation in Efficiency
Energy (IPEEC).
Thus, the Energy Management Working Group (EMWG) seeks to accelerate the broad
use of energy management systems (EnMS) in industry and buildings
commercials around the world. The 11 member governments of the Working Group
they jointly identify and evaluate activities, opportunities, strategies
and best practices of the EMS.
The participating governments are Australia, Canada, Denmark, the Commission
Europe, India, Japan, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of South Africa,
Sweden and the United States.
