Description

You may wonder, “Why do we need ISO 50001 EnMS when we have already implemented ISO 14001 Environmental Management (EMS)?” Energy is part of an EMS. Energy is an aspect that is nonrenewable and a must for every organization to have. In ISO 14001 EMS, it is easy to focus on hazardous materials and aspects that have considerable risk in the workplace. Energy use can be easily overlooked, and even when it is considered for an objective and target (O&T), important questions such as what are the significant energy users (SEUs), what can we do to reduce their impact, and what are the variables that affect energy use are not answered.
An ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS) allows an organization to focus on reducing energy consumption through establishing a compelling energy policy, establishing legal and other requirements and ensuring that they are being met, and conducting a comprehensive energy review that identifies energy efficiencies, energy conservation efforts implemented, and O&Ts with energy action plans that, when achieved, moves the organization toward meeting its energy policy. For manufacturing companies, energy costs impact both the cost to produce the product and the product price. For government organizations, energy reduction is mandated by executive orders. Everyone benefits from reducing energy consumption, from the environment to the economic health of companies. ISO 50001 EnMS can be implemented by itself or with other ISO standards such as 9001, and 14001 or with OHSMS 18000. The choice is yours—–let’s make this a better place to live and work and with less cost.

This book is dedicated to the environmental and energy staff of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the staff and special agents in the field who perform diligently and with exceptional dedication every day in achieving their mission. This book is also dedicated to the United States Air Force, where I had the privilege of serving 20 years in the civil engineering field and retiring as a lieutenant colonel. The Air Force is dedicated to reducing energy use and is making excellent strides in doing so, including creating an energy savings culture where everyone is committed to and involved in reducing energy consumption and costs. And finally, this book is dedicated to my wife, Jackie Howell, and my oldest grandson, Christopher Cline, who helped me with the figures and tables.
Preface
S everal people have asked me, “Why do we need ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS) when we have already implemented ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS)?” Energy is part of an EMS. Energy is an aspect that is nonrenewable and a must for every organization to have. In ISO 14001 EMS, it is easy to focus on hazardous materials and aspects that have considerable risk in the workplace. Energy use can be easily overlooked, and even when it is considered for an objective and target (O&T), important questions such as what are the significant energy users (SEUs), what can we do to reduce their impact, and what are the variables that affect energy use are not answered. ISO 50001 EnMS allows an organization to focus on reducing energy consumption through establishing a compelling energy policy, establishing legal and other requirements and ensuring that they are being met, and conducting a comprehensive energy review that identifies energy efficiencies, energy conservation efforts implemented, and O&Ts with energy action plans that, when achieved, move the organization toward meeting its energy policy. For manufacturing companies, energy costs impact both the cost to produce the product and the product price. For government organizations, energy reduction is mandated by executive orders such as Executive Order 13423, “Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management,” and Executive Order 13514, “Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance.” Everyone benefits from reducing energy consumption, from the environment to the economic health of companies. ISO 50001 EnMS can be implemented by itself or with other ISO standards such as 9001 and 14001, or with OHSMS 18000. The choice is yours—let’s make this a better place to live and work and with less cost.
Acknowledgments
I would like to thank Acquisitions Editor Matt Meinholz and Managing Editor Paul Daniel O’Mara of ASQ Quality Press, and the ASQ reviewers who made contributions and suggestions that significantly improved the organization and clarity of this book. ISO is to be thanked for developing the ISO 50001 Energy Management System standard, which should help organizations all over the world reduce energy consumption and costs. I also thank Jana Brooks, former chief, Environmental Section, DEA Headquarters, who allowed me to assist in both environmental and energy matters at DEA facilities.

Chapter 1
Introduction to ISO 50001 Environmental Management System (EnMS)
Energy Cost
In the United States, around $500 billion a year is spent on energy. In the world, industry consumes 51% of all energy produced. Energy costs represent up to 30% of corporate operating expenses. 1 The US Green Building Council estimates that commercial office buildings use, on average, 20% more energy than needed. 2 This is an astounding dollar loss for the industry that is due primarily to the fact that management does not know where the waste is occurring and what to do to eliminate or reduce this loss. By implementing an Energy Management System (EnMS), to include monitoring energy use, analyzing the data, and implementing countermeasures, companies can save hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. Transforming a company’s facilities into high-performance buildings positively impacts the environment, employee productivity and well-being, and the company’s bottom line. 3
EnMS Standard
The ISO 50001 EnMS standard was published in June 2011. ISO 50001 defines an EnMS as “a set of interrelated or interacting elements to establish an energy policy and energy objectives, and processes and procedures to achieve those objectives.” The new standard used ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS) and ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) as guides in its development. ISO 50001 EnMS provides a road map and path for continually improving energy performance. In the past, projects to reduce energy use were identified, funded, and implemented. They were not usually tied to the organization’s vision or strategic goals or objectives and involved only a few departments (e.g., engineering, contracting, and facilities personnel). This is often called a technical approach or method. ISO 50001 EnMS involves not only the technical but also an administrative or management approach in that top management and all the organization’s employees and contractors are tasked to reduce energy use. 4
Using an ISO standard as a guide for implementing your program has many benefits. First, it will help you identify opportunities to reduce energy use. It will assist you in putting appropriate operational controls in place. It will force you to understand your current energy usage and its related costs, and to look for ways to reduce your energy costs and consumption. It will help you gain management support and commitment and will help you explain to all the staff their roles and responsibilities. It will help you to be in better compliance with legal and other requirements. Your present metrics will be increased to help measure your total energy performance. It will enable you to put into practice procedures and processes to improve your design and procurement efforts in relationship to energy management. Most importantly, it will help you improve your energy performance, decrease your energy costs, and continually improve your EnMS. You may decide later to become cer
