Featuring: ISO 50001 2-Year Anniversary ISO 50001 Case Study: SYVEC Corporation Competition case study: Energy management in business

The certification site number has exeeded three thhousands, and this surpasses the record of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 after the same period (two years) of their existence. The positive performance however should be credited to the strong demonstration of Germany with 54% of penetration, and without Germany, ISO 50001 followers might have been sweating by this time. The picture can be described as a strong Germany far ahead the path, followed by expected UK with the superior third groups (Sweden, Spain and Italy) and intensive fourth group (India, Ireland, Korea, Taiwan and Austria). (For those who wish to have the excel file to do your own analysis, you are welcome to download our excel file data from here)

Compare to the March figure, Germany continues to show impressive increase of 516 sites and 369 business units, UK contributes with increased certified sites from 138 to 315, increase of 177 despite the number of BU increase is held to 9. Other than Germany and UK, Spaing , Italy and Ireland made a strong increase over the two months period. It would be interested to see how the third year would develop for ISO 50001.

       

       

Although number has exceeded 3,000, it has to be noted that this is due to the strong showing by Germany. Without German showing, many coutries including my home land Japan need to review the status. Government and the private sectors have to take a close look at the essence in the benefits of adapting the ISO 50001 class EnMS operation. They need to go back to the basics. I regularly view and listen to the great speech made by Rob Steele, ISO Secretary-General, at the 2nd International Conference on the Global impact of Energy Management Systems “Creating the right environment for ISO 50001 to thrive” - SEAI, Dublin, Ireland - 4th May 2012. （15 minutes speach can be accessed here） He was very determined and clear about the ISO 50001 superiority. In his speech, he made clear that ISO 50001 followers require continual effort in promoting the standard especially to the top management level of energy user organisation or business units.

EnMS-Doc Associates is also celebrating our 2-year anniversary as we started our operation in harmony to ISO 50001 introduction. We commit to promote as many business units establishing and implementing ISO 50001 class EnMS operation.
Our focuses in the next 12 months are:

1. Keep close eyes on the growth mode demonstrated by African countries and how sustainability approach to be blended into the growth.
2. Place attention on China and Japan being far ahead on ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certification but very slow on ISO 50001.
3. It has been one of our seven wonders that Australia and New Zealand known as taking pioneering role in energy management system, have yet to appear in the certification list. we want to check the situation.
4. Continue our effort in promoting ISO 50001 class EnMS implementation in Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, etc.)
5. Continue Learning from US SEP program initiative in verifying energy performance improvement in line with the ISO 50001 standard.

The competition is to see who can come up with a successful energy management strategy for the fictitious Wesh Pharmaceutical which is facing a raft of everyday energy management challenges. The procedure is simple:

• Download a copy of the case study about the fictitious Wesh Pharmaceutical.

• Email Stephen Kennett (stephenkennett@2degreesnetwork.com)Community Manager, 2degrees in no more than 500 words your strategy for addressing their energy management challenges.

The fictitious Wesh Pharmaceutical case study is an excerpt from Kit Oung's recently published book “Energy Management in Business” from Gower(ISBN 978-1-4094-5245-4 (hardback) ISBN 978-1-4094-5246-1 (eBook)) EnMS-Doc's Nobby Yamanouchi treasures the book acting as his everyday reference workbook. Not only he admires Kit Oung’s in-depth knowledge in EnMS but also for his skill in communication which allows his valuable idea easily appreciated and applied.
The winner of this competition will receive a hardback or e-book version of "Energy management in business"

Therefore, the requirements are positive thinking and practical. Any top management will recognise that by performing to the ISO 50001 requirement, it ensures to take superior position in developing sustainability business. In order to take advantage of the requirement for the betterment of business operation and to maintain the established framework, one must at least establish a foundation of documentation. Once going through each item of requirements, there exist responding documents required to support complying with each item.
We have created an analysis table "Documents responding to ISO 50001 requirements" demonstrating applicable documents for requirement item.
Those of you who are interested please download

Once you go through the table you will immediately come to realise that once you have established 12 key management documents as shown below.
This is the reasoning behind EnMS-Doc developed the M333 Set Menu #101"all 12 key management documents in a set" as our feature offering.
The greatest thing about ISO 50001 is once the compatible management documents are in line, they will convert your existing documents related to EnMS operation such as procedural documents, daily journals and data into ISO 50001 documents.

We still see a lot of attentions being placed on certification when ISO 50001, International Standard for Energy Management System (EnMS) is talked about. On the other hand seldom we hear about the importance of documentation that forms the fundamental part of enhancing EnMS operation conforming to the ISO 50001 requirements. Full story...
