ISO 50001

The ISO 50001 energy management standard is an international framework for industrial plants, commercial facilities or entire organizations to manage energy, including all aspects of procurement and use. The standard provides organizations and companies with technical and management strategies to increase energy efficiency, reduce costs, and improve environmental performance.

To qualify for Superior Energy Performance, a facility will have to demonstrate conformance to ISO 50001, with additional requirements to achieve and document energy performance improvements. It is expected that facilities would re-certify themselves to the energy management standard every three years.

ISO 50001 was published as an International Standard in June 2011.

Conformance to the energy management standard will demonstrate that the plant or company implemented sustainable energy management systems, completed a baseline of energy use, and committed to continuously improve their energy performance. The standard, which is compatible with the widely used ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management), also accomplishes the following:

  • Assists organizations in optimizing their existing energy-consuming assets.
  • Offers guidance on benchmarking, measuring, documenting, and reporting energy intensity improvements and their projected impact on reducing GHG emissions.
  • Creates transparency and facilitates communication on the management of energy resources.
  • Promotes energy management best practices and reinforces good energy management behaviors.
  • Assists facilities in evaluating and prioritizing the implementation of new energy-efficient technologies
  • Provides a framework for promoting energy efficiency throughout the supply chain.
  • Facilitates energy management improvements in the context of GHG emission reduction projects.

Jefferson has teamed up with Square K Energy Solutions to maximize local utility rebates for all campus energy projects. These projects include lighting, retro commissioning, HVAC, and chilled water plant optimization. The utility rebates are then reinvested back into our buildings in our effort to save more energy and develop a sustainable campus at a reduced cost. We could not have performed this service at this high level internally.
