Enerit, CEO, MIke Brogan presented at the Industrial Energy Technology Conference (IETC 2015) recently in New Orleans, USA. he presentation concentrated on the ISO 50001 Energy Planning process and why it is important the proper tools are used for carrying out energy review, identifying improvement opportunities and implementing a systematic approach for setting targets and prioritizing energy efficiency projects.
The IETC is hosted by the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University and the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources. It is a one-of-a kind conference featuring a topics important to industrial energy managers, utility experts, government program managers, vendors and others.

4. Internationally recognised framework for systematic
energy management to:
Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy
Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy
Use data to better understand and make decisions
about energy use
Measure the results
Review how well the policy works, and
Continually improve energy management.
WHAT is ISO 50001 EnMS Standard?
Aimed all types and size of organisations
8. o Save cost of energy
o Your competitors are doing it – driven by customers
o Show “Green” credentials e.g. Harbec, AIB
o Demonstrate proven Best Practice in organization
o Tax Rebates or other cash benefits, e.g. Germany
o EU Energy Audits directive (UK ESOS, SI 286)

13. Energy Review
Analyze energy use and consumption
Determine Significant Energy Use (SEU)
Use available data, e.g.
o Bills, existing meter data
o Energy audits
o Engineering studies
o Industry Benchmarks
o Equipment inventory and ratings
o Maintenance logs
o Sankey diagrams
The energy review can be improved as the organization gains more experience with
energy data management and decision making based on energy data analysis.

21. Prioritising Opportunities
Consider:
• Estimated energy savings
• Business impacts/priorities
• Return on Investment
• Cost
• Complexity
• Environmental impacts
• Legal requirements
• Risk
• Funding
• Non-energy benefits
Organisation can decide
on its own criteria

26. What?
• ISO 50001 is a globally recognized framework for energy management
• Best practice (and rigorous) approach
• Not compliance – common sense way of working
Why?
• ISO 50001 EnMS is different from BAU
• Systematic approach is proven to provide 3-4 times more savings than project
based approach with payback (DoE SEP)
How?
• Use ICT systems (not just energy monitoring) to systemize your approach
(Build or buy an EnMS ICT support – add to M&T)
• Manages your information and communicate with all managers and staff
• Visualizes to motivate and track
• Defines real Objectives &Targets
• Makes informed decisions on selection of energy efficiency projects
