Description

EnMSFTC

Please see the ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems Introduction & Awareness Training Course Synopsis for a more comprehensive overview of this course and to review any pre-course requirements that might apply.

The latest version of the energy management system (EnMS) standard, ISO 50001:2018, was published on August 21, 2018. The new version conforms to ISO's requirements for management system standards, including the incorporation of a high-level structure, identical core text, and common terms and definitions, thereby ensuring a high level of compatibility with other management system standards.

ISO 50001 provides a framework to implement energy management systems in organisations, in order to achieve energy performance continuous improvement.  This course will provide participants with an overview of the purpose and requirements of ISO 50001 as a tool for the management of energy and improvement of energy performance. 

At the end of this course participants will be able to:

• discuss the external and internal pressures on an organisation to develop energy management systems
• describe the purpose of an energy management system and explain the main energy management principles
• describe the main requirements of ISO 50001
• understand the certification process and the relationship between ISO 50001 and other management system standards

Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Learning
•  Comprehending the global and national issues and policies concerning energy management and climate change

• dentification of the main phases of a certification process
• Skills
• Identifying key energy issues and challenges
• Establishing the scope of energy management in the organization’s specific context
• Applying methods for prioritising energy uses
• Identifying appropriate approaches to improve energy performance
• Understand the concepts of energy efficiency
• To be able to return to your post and participate in the preliminary steps for the development of an EnMS
• Outputs
• A clearer recognition of the key energy issues that need to be managed by a  businessJustification of a feasible strategy for EnMS implementation to Senior Management
• Outline of an Energy Management System

Audience

This course is useful as an introduction for anyone involved in the development, implementation and management of an ISO 50001 energy management system. 

It will be valuable as preparation for participants planning to complete internal or lead auditor courses.

Copies of the Standard are provided for the learner’s use during this course. If participants would like to purchase their own copy of the Standard to familiarise themselves with the vocabulary and clauses, the documents are available to order here: Standard - ISO 50001:2011 Energy Management
