The Industrial Energy Accelerator is a UNIDO-led network of international initiatives working to inspire global action on industrial energy efficiency. By investing in energy efficiency, industry can secure a safer climate now and for the future.
In our new series, we meet people around the world combining the power of industrial energy efficiency and renewables. See how industrial energy efficiency has taken off in Egypt. This is where targeted advice enables them to develop a better understanding of where energy is being used in the organization and how savings can be made.
The new handbook ISO — A practical Guide for SMEs has been designed to be used alongside ISO and provides concrete examples of how to plan and implement energy efficiency measures, often without the need for investment in new technology or systems.

Operational Control: A critical element of the EnMS for energy savings Steps in achieving effective operational control: 1. Nisa Taniesa.
Maleficent Idea. Pradeep Ahire. Luis Emilio Reyes Palma. Shubham Tilara. Planning, etc. When reading the Standard it is important that i. In order to understand how each of the following clauses applies to each other the remaining text applies to the In addition to the term or definition there are also notes that following diagram: seek to provide further information and clarity. EnMS Planning for Management collection of review energy data. The clause is sequential as there is need to understand the organization and context 4.
Clause 4. Understanding the context of the organization is usually conducted by top management with information about the business and activities gathered at every level of the organization. Discussion points focus on internal and external issues which have an impact on the EnMS system. There are a number of methodologies that can be used to determine context. A good way of achieving this is to formulate a matrix setting out the requirements of the Standard and Annex A and then perform a series of interviews with appropriate employees, so that the knowledge of an organization can be harnessed.
Where appropriate, this could be turned into a report or perhaps a matrix. The benefit of this is that it provides a cohesive explanation and a good reference to support present and future business strategy. It can also be reflected upon when undertaking a Management Review See Section 9 Performance evaluation below. From an understanding of the context i.
Once this has been created then the interested parties relevant needs and expectations need to be determined. There again, this can be an iterative process, listing the interested parties needs and expectations. What is important though is the drawing out of issues from interested parties that an organization may consider to become legal and other requirements.
This essentially requires the compilation of a list of legal and other requirements. The legal and other requirements can be derived from such interested parties as Regulatory Bodies e. As detailed in 9. Sometimes, at the 4.
The remainder of this document will within the EnMS. In some cases this could be in a manual look at the how this is to take place. Either way it needs to. Demonstration of top management commitment Its overall success and energy performance attained can occur in many ways in respect of an EnMS.
It is the latter that is of key importance The following examples are how leadership can be within an EnMS, as authorisation of resources demonstrated within an EnMS: are often required for altering energy consuming equipment into energy efficient equipment.
Tactical 6. Determine and prioritize opportunities for improving energy performance. Considerations of risk and opportunities are part of high- Within 6. Similarly, favourable considerations or circumstances that can offer potential advantages or beneficial This can naturally lead to 6. It is a good idea to. The methods and criteria by which it is produced should also The Standard says that an organization has to be documented.
SEUs can be defined depending on the needs of the organization, such as by The Standard sets out explicitly the framework it facility e. Of course, over time they may change but initially requirements: attention needs to focus on the significant. What iii. This should include identification be done?
The Standard vi. Unlike other management standards where qualitative Where appropriate the energy review can also consider measures are more frequent, within an EnMS, they security and availability of supply. Opportunities can relate to potential sources of energy, use The overall theme of ensuring that the EnMS is of renewable energy, use of energy efficient equipment e. Energy objectives and targets, by their sheer nature, will, of course, be meaningful The energy review should be updated at defined intervals e.
Where there are variables that have been identified, the baseline should be normalised so that it How the EnPIs are determined and updated has to be makes sense! EnB s should also be revised when: maintained as documented information.
EnPI Improvement Data is critically important within the Standard particularly from a perspective of continual improvement. Planning for which Target data to collect, how to collect it and how often to collect it Energy target helps ensure the availability of the data needed to maintain the EnPI.
The plan has to specify the data necessary to monitor the key characteristics and state how and at what frequency the data shall be collected and retained. Baselines change, the organization can update its EnPI s , where relevant. The organization must specify the frequency of reviews at defined intervals and as a result of the reviews update the Examples of EnPIs Inputs are: information as appropriate.
The requirements really underpin an EnMS and ensure that it runs effectively. This is particularly so in relation to energy as it is highly required which can include human resources, specialized technical and a specialised area that can sometimes only be skills, technology, data collection infrastructure and financial catered for by having appropriate consultants to assist in- resources.
For example, if it has or invest in the resources for the EnMS. An organization also been identified that there is a need to undertake an energy has to identify the correct resources it requires. As part of assessment of air conditioning equipment, then there needs to identifying resources, an organization needs to look at the be appropriate competency and resource to carry this out.
The Standard is helpful in providing a framework in order to depict the communication process within an organization. What will be When will it be To whom will it be How will it be communicated?
In the case of an EnMS, the Standard says that there should be a process in place so that employees and other person s under the organizations control can make comments or suggest improvements to the EnMS and to energy performance generally. The Standard asks the organization to consider retaining these suggestions as documented information.
In reality, whilst the Standard says consider it would be best practice to document these as they could be vital in improving energy performance and retaining them as a document may be the first part of a broader improvement process. Clause Documentation Requirement 4. The organization shall retain documented information of EnPI value s.
The organization shall retain documented information on measurement, monitoring and other means of establishing accuracy and repeatability. The organization shall retain appropriate documented information on the results from performance and the EnMS monitoring and measurement. After these mandatory requirements, it is up to the organization Where documented information is produced it needs to be to decide whether it requires further documentation.
