01 · Who

Who it is for

  • Manufacturers and commercial buildings where electricity is a large share of operating costs
  • Energy users required by regulation to meet energy-saving targets or undergo energy audits
  • Companies whose carbon inventory shows Scope 2 (purchased electricity) is the largest source
  • Organizations that want to quantify energy savings as evidence for carbon reduction targets
02 · What

What we do

Energy review

Inventory major energy-using equipment and usage patterns to identify significant energy uses.

Baseline and indicators

Set an energy baseline and energy performance indicators (EnPIs) so improvements show up in numbers.

Savings opportunity assessment

Drawing on 17 years of hands-on energy experience, assess room for improvement in equipment, processes, HVAC, lighting, and contracted capacity.

System documentation

Write the energy policy, objectives, action plans, and operating procedures.

Metering and monitoring

Plan meters and monitoring points, and add an energy monitoring system where needed.

Internal audit and certification

Train internal auditors, run the management review, and accompany you through certification.

03 · Process

How it works

  1. Current-state diagnosis

    Collect electricity bills, equipment lists, and operating data.

  2. Energy review

    Identify significant energy uses and the baseline.

  3. Objectives and plan

    Set energy-saving targets and action plans.

  4. Operation and monitoring

    Carry out improvements and measure results.

  5. Audit and certification

    Internal audit, management review, and certification support.

04 · Deliverables

What you get

  • Energy review report

    Major energy-using equipment, baseline, and savings opportunities.

  • Energy performance indicators

    EnPIs you can track monthly, with calculation methods.

  • Energy management system documents

    Policy, procedures, forms, and action plans.

  • Improvement list

    Improvement options ranked by payback period.

05 · FAQ

FAQ

How much electricity will ISO 50001 save?

It depends on your starting point. The system itself doesn't save power directly; it keeps surfacing savings opportunities so they get implemented and verified. We estimate the potential during the energy review.

Is ISO 50001 related to solar and storage?

Yes. The energy review reveals your peaks and load patterns, which is exactly what you need to assess solar self-consumption and the peak-shaving value of storage.

Can it be implemented together with ISO 14001?

Yes. The two share the same structure, so documents and internal audits can be integrated at lower management cost.
