ISO 50001 50006 Energy Management Systems

NEW ENERGY Management System Standard ISO 50001:2011
The International Organization for Standardization, (ISO) recognized the importance in energy management and developed ISO 50001-2011, an International Standard for energy Management. It was established by the International Organization for Standardization. The ISO 50001 2011 energy management standard for energy management was published on June 15th, 2011. It is expected to affect 60 percent of world's energy use and can be used as a catalyst in trade to improve the efficiency of industrial energy use. This standard will be able to achieve significant, long-term , energy efficiency gains (20% or more) for all kinds of commercial, industrial, institutional, and other institutional buildings, in addition to cut down on global greenhouse gas (GHG) emission.

ISO 50001 is a set of standards for companies to create, implement, maintain, and enhance their energy management systems. This framework allows the organization to implement an approach that is systematic to continuously improve its energy performance. It addresses energy consumption and the use of energy. The standard will result in a reduction of energy expenses as well as greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts through the systematic control of energy. ISO 50001:2011 is an internationally recognized standard that allows commercial, industrial and institutional facilities as well as whole companies to manage their energy. This includes the procurement and use. It is applicable to all sizes and types, regardless of geographic, cultural, or social conditions. It will demonstrate that a company/plant is sustainable through its EnMS and has established an energy baseline, and has made the commitment to improve its the efficiency of its energy use.

The ISO 50001:2011 framework encompasses both managerial and technical aspects. These are anticipated to make the Standard popular. The Standard will be based upon the continuous improvement and PDCA techniques used in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 to facilitate compatibility and integration opportunities. ENTERING ISO 50001:2011 U.N. Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) was one of the first entities to acknowledge the industry need to develop an efficient response to climate change, and to the increasing number of national energy management standards. UNIDO hosted a meeting to discuss the issue. This resulted in the submission of a formal request at the ISO Central Secretariat that they consider the development of an international standard for energy management. The Technical Management Board of ISO approved in February 2008 the creation of a new committee (PC 242 Energy Management), to develop the new ISO Management System Standard for Energy.

The committee for the project comprises 35 countries participating and 5 observers. Associacao Brasileira de Normas Tecnicas ABNT and American National Standards Institute ANSI are the joint Secretariat. The U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. Council for EnergyEfficient Manufacturing both endorse ANSI's position as a designer of the standard. In September 2008, the U.S. Council for Energy-Efficient Manufacturing held its initial ISO/PC 242 commission in Washington, D.C. and it was again in Brazil in March 2009. The ISO 50001-2011 energy management standard was released on June 15th, 2011. ISO 50001:2011 REQUIREMENTS For the implementation of an energy management system standard within an organization requires changes to the existing institutional practices regarding energy. This may require the assistance of outside experts. Look at ISO 50006 doc here.

Personnel from organizations who are well-versed in management systems, such as safety environmental, quality, and safety know the fundamentals of setting up a management system and embedding it into an organization's corporate culture. These experts often have limited or no experience in energy efficiency. Industrial energyefficiency specialists, on the contrary hand, are highly skilled in energy efficiency and trained to identify and execute energy-efficiency projects. They do not need to know about the management system. An extensive amount of training is required in order to effectively apply the energy management standard. To ensure that the standard is implemented effectively of the standards, it's essential to build both external and internal capacity. It's not often that you can find the combination of management systems and energy efficiency, which allows to provide technical assistance for energy management.
