Energy Management Systems and Standards
Background
The Industrial Energy Efficiency project is a collaboration between
– The Government, represented by the dti, the DoE and DEA
– The Government of Switzerland, represented by SECO
– UK Aid – DFID
– The project is implemented by UNIDO
Hosted at the National Cleaner Production Centre (NCPC-SA)
BUSA and NBI stakeholders
Project Component 2- Energy
Management
One of the focus areas of the IEE project:
The introduction of the new energy management
standard, ISO 50001, mid 2011. Support SATS 50010
Assist SABS/SANAS in SATS/SANS 50010 (M&V) Rollout
Assist SABS/SANAS Rollout plan for ISO/SANS 50001
Providing Training in Energy Management Systems
Ad hoc approach to energy

Structured Approach
Some definitions
An Energy Management System (EnMS) is a systematic process for continually
improving energy performance.
It is a management system and not a technical system
Establishing an EnMS requires you to:
•
Develop and implement an energy policy
•
Identify your main energy users
•
Set energy objectives and measurable targets
•
Implement and operate programmes to meet these objectives and targets
•
Check and take corrective action as required
•
Review your system continually and improve where possible

Some definitions
Energy Management System Standard
• A published structure or framework which you may decide to use to
develop your EnMS.
• You may decide to have your EnMS certified to a standard.
• ISO 50001 is the first international energy management system standard
• EN 16001 and MSE2009 are European and US equivalents.
Continual improvement, which is a key feature of the standard, ensures that you
remain alert for new opportunities as they arise and exploit all areas where
energy savings can be achieved.
Energy Management System
Standards – Why?
Most energy efficiency in business is achieved through
changes in how energy is managed in a facility,
rather than through installation of new technologies.
Energy Management Systems/Standards (EnMS) provide a marketbased framework and best-practice methodologies to integrate EE into the
corporate culture and daily management practices.
Energy Management Systems (EnMS) provide:

A framework for understanding significant energy uses

Action plans for continually improve energy performance

Structure and organizational framework to sustain energy performance improvements over
time and change of personnel
ISO 50001 Energy
Management Standard
Purpose of ISO 50001
“..enable organizations to establish the systems and
processes necessary to improve energy
performance ..”
Scope of ISO 50001
“.. specifies requirements applicable to energy supply
and energy uses and consumption, including
measurement, documentation and reporting,
design and procurement practices for energy using
equipment, systems, processes, and personnel”

It is applicable to all organizations
ISO 50001 does NOT prescribe specific performance
criteria with respect to energy.
ISO 50001 Energy Management
Standard - Planning
How much energy are you using?
Where are you using it? Which are
significant?
What is driving this use?
What is your baseload?
Who is influencing its use?
Is an energy audit required – focus it?
Energy System Optimization
Renewable energy options
Are there legal or other requirements?
Develop baseline & indicators
Set objectives and targets
Action Plan
Measurement and Verification of
Energy Savings SATS 50010
SATS 50010 – M&V Specification was developed by
SABS with business participation (May 2010)
Well aligned and referenced to International
Performance Measurement and Verification
Protocol (IPMVP)
SATS 50010 will be referenced and not IPMVP for
Eskom programmes, government EE incentive
programmes
Use of accredited M&V Bodies
Available at the SABS

National Cleaner Production
Centre
Two Programmes:
Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production Programme
Industrial Energy Efficiency
Focus Sectors:
• Chemicals (Plastics & Liquid fuels)
• Commercial Buildings
• Agro-processing
• Hospitality & Tourism
• Fibres, Textiles & Clothing
• Metals Fabrication
• Pulp & Paper
• Automotive
Approach
 NCPC-SA will issue a Call for Proposals to
Database of Energy Specialists as per
CSIR and NCPC-SA databases.
 Energy Specialists will be selected based
on company’s activities and experience in
energy efficiency audits and project
implementation.
 Energy specialists will be Contracted by
NCPC-SA and allocated to companies, to
undergo energy assessments.
 Assessment Cost will be subsidised (%)
through the NCPC-SA’s CP Sector
Programmes.
 Through the assessment will assist the
company to identify appropriate options for
implementation.
Energy Efficiency Programme NCPC
Goals:
 Recruit Companies for Assessments: Energy
 Recruit Energy specialists to undertake assessments
 Focus on key priority area:
• Energy efficiency
Outputs
 Create awareness of EE in Focus Sectors (Benefits & advantages)
 Support sector strategy and initiatives
 Industry to quantify their energy consumption
 Use of a standard format audit protocol (Save time and money)
 Verifying sector energy efficiency and establish programmes to improve
 Minimise adverse environmental impacts
 Recommending Internationally accepted sustainable energy use principles
