Purpose

– Need for energy management • How do I make my company more

energy efficient ?– I want more than an audit… a culture

• What are the best practices? Where can I find them, how do I implement them?

Purpose (contd.)

– Jamaica’s energy costs one of the highest in Latin America / Caribbean

– Fuel diversification strategy facing continual delays

– Worldwide energy costs expected to rise.

– Jamaica currently has over 90% dependence on imported petroleum

Purpose (contd.)

CONSERVATION AND EFFICIENCY

CHEAPEST RESOURCE

IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE

Purpose (contd.)

– How do I ensure that • My energy management systems are

guaranteed to the highest international standards?

• I am achieving the maximum impact from the best methods generating financial and tangible benefits?

• I can replicate the processes and practices throughout my entire operation regardless of type and location?

Energy Conservation & Efficiency

• Energy Conservation and Efficiency– Development and adoption of standards,

technologies and processes that will make us internationally competitive.

• ISO 9001 – Quality Management

• ISO 14001 – Environmental Management

• ISO 22000 – Food Safety

• ISO / IEC 27001 – Information Security

Who / What is ISO?

– ISO = International Organization for Standardization

– Membership of 160 national bodies including our own Jamaica Bureau of Standards

– “Provides businesses, government and society with practical tools for all three dimensions of sustainable development

• Economic, Environmental, and Social”

– Standards facilitate trade, spread knowledge, disseminate innovative advances in technology and share good management practices

Who / What is ISO contd.?

– They provide solutions and achieve benefits for almost all sectors of activity including agriculture, construction, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, distribution, transport, medical devices, information and communication technologies, the environment, energy, quality management and services

Who / What is ISO contd.?

– Standards are developed only when there is a clear market requirement and are done by experts in the respective subject areas.

– The ISO standard “represents a global consensus on the state of the art in the subject of that standard”

ISO 50001 :2011ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Requirements with guidance for use.

ISO 50001

– NEW - at last report 33 U.S. organizations including 3M, Alcoa, Dow Chemical

– Gives organizations the requirements for energy management systems

– Provides benefits for organizations large and small in both public and private sectors, in manufacturing and services in all regions of the world

– Will establish a framework for industrial plants; commercial, institutional and governmental facilities and entire organizations to manage energy.

– Adaptable to all industrial /commercial entities– Adaptable to all cultures and countries– Certification offered

– “Individual organizations cannot control energy prices, government policies or the global economy, but they can improve the way they manage energy in the here and now.

– Improved energy performance can provide rapid benefits for an organization by maximizing the use of its energy sources and energy-related assets, thus reducing both energy cost and consumption.

– The organization will also make positive contributions toward reducing depletion of energy resources”

ISO 50001 – Why important?

– “It will provide public and private sector organizations with management strategies to increase energy efficiency

– Reduce costs

– Improve energy performance

– Will integrate energy performance into management practice (culture)

– Multinationals will have a single standard applicable across all entities”

ISO 50001 – What will it do?

– “Plan – conduct the energy review and establish the baseline, energy performance indicators (EnPIs), objectives, targets and action plans necessary to deliver results in accordance with opportunities to improve energy performance and the organization’s energy policy

– Do – Implement the energy management action plans”

ISO 50001 – How does it Work?

ISO 50001 – How does it Work? Contd.,

– “Check – Monitor and measure processes and the key characteristics of its operations that determine energy performance against the energy policy and objectives and report the results.

– Act – Take actions to continually improve energy performance and the Energy Management System.”
