The energy, more so in India, is one of the most contentious and volatile cost of operation an enterprise has to deal with in the day to day life of newer business landscape. For far too long, it has been treated as an overhead, which could not be avoided. What if instead, you could turn your energy use and cost from a passive expense to an active-controlled asset? And that is exactly the opportunity that a systematic Energy Management System (EnMS) has to offer.
ISO 50001 – Energy management systems — Requirements with guidance for use is the global standard for establishing such a system. This provides organisations across the globe the most robust, internationally-recognised framework to ensure they can strategically manage their energy performance no matter how big or what sector they are operating in. It is a path to continuous improvement that can yield significant savings, increased sustainability, and greater resiliency.
Mastering this standard is essential for long-lasting efficiency. Being one of the top accredited inspection bodies with its base located in Lucknow, TNV inspection division strives for professional, unbiased verification services which are in itself the foundation of a reliable & efficient Energy Management System.
International standard ISO 50001 contains the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an Energy Management System (EnMS). The purpose of this is to give an organization a framework to continually improve energy performance — energy efficiency, energy use and energy consumption.
Adopting an EnMS according to ISO 50001 is a very strong and strategic business decision, with benefits that compound over time.
Built upon PDCA — The Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle, which Checklists have been proven out to be the true and tried framework for continual improvement, driving momentum and delivering outcomes.
This is the stage where you lay of the first brick. This includes performing an energy audit to understand your energy usage level, find out what consumes the most energy, and create a baseline. Armed with this data you set concrete, measureable goals and targets and develop action plans to reach them.
This step is the execution of the action plans. The process is about making operational controls to manage the day-to-day, carrying out maintenance, making staff more energy aware, and paying for new, more energy-efficient technologies where they make sense.
You can’t manage what you don’t measure. The Efficient Use of Energy During the “Do” Stage This essential step consists of evaluating your energy performance in relation to the objectives and targets established in the Plan stage. While requiring some serious data collection and analysis to see what is working and what is not.
Based on the results of “Check,” you act to continually improve the process. Those that are successful are institutionalized as the new standard. If there are deviations, these are corrected, and the lessons learned are fed back into the “Plan” stage for the next improvement cycle.
The standard is based on a series of requirements that are linked together to form an entire system to control energy.
ISO 50001 is implemented by certification bodies, but a successful Energy Management System is largely based on accurate data and effective verification/personnel. Part of the Answer: As an established, independent and accredited inspection body, more than half of TNV focused approach in its function is to provide you with the critical, independent third-party services and foundations upon which your EnMS rest. We keep the gas around to provide the data your system really needs to operate.
Our meticulous verification services include:
These days, showing that you care about efficiency is no ordinary task — it takes good data to back up your good intentions. Certified verification that your energy performance is what you claim it is, is the most reliable assurance your management system is working and your savings true.
