arbcombo -- ISO 50001/SEP Energy Management System Informational Workshop on November 10, 2015
Posted: 12 Oct 2015 16:12:12
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) invites you to participate in an informational workshop conducted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) discussing the purpose, structure, and benefits of ISO 50001-Energy Management System (EnMs) Standard and the United States Department of Energy (US DOE) Superior Energy Performance (SEP) program. The informational workshop will be held at the following time and location: Date: November 10, 2015 Time: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Location: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 The informational workshop will include interactive activities and presentations from Berkeley Labs and others, including industry representatives. Presentation activity topics will include: • Strategic energy management, ISO 50001, and SEP program, • Perspectives from industry certified to ISO 50001 and SEP, • Analysis of costs and benefits of certification, and • An interactive activity to aid in evaluating organizational ISO 50001 and SEP readiness. This informational workshop will be webcast at http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast and viewers can email questions during the session to auditorium@calepa.ca.gov. This informational workshop will be of value to industrial organizations of all sizes looking to control energy costs, improve energy source security, and reduce carbon emissions. Industrial facilities who have worked with ARB to meet energy assessment requirements will learn how ISO 50001 and SEP provide organizational awareness and confidence in turning identified energy performance improvement opportunities into energy and energy cost savings. The workshop may be most relevant to energy and plant managers, sustainability officers, and environmental compliance staff. A flyer for the workshop is available at the following website: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/energyaudits/meetings/meetings.htm. The agenda will be available on this website prior to the meeting. You may register for this workshop at http://arb-iso50001-sep-workshop.eventbrite.com. Registration is requested but not required. If you have any questions about the workshop, please contact Cherie Rainforth at (916) 327 7213 or by email at cherie.rainforth@arb.ca.gov or Maria Vacaru at (916) 322-7833 or by email at maria.vacaru@arb.ca.gov . Background: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed an International Standard (ISO 50001) that specifies the requirements for an energy management system that allows a facility operator to develop and implement a comprehensive energy policy. Facility operators establish energy savings objectives, set energy savings targets, and develop action plans to achieve these. The development of an ISO 50001 compliant energy management system enables facility operators to improve their energy performance while assuring compliance of their plans with demonstrable reductions. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Superior Energy Performance (SEP) Program provides two paths to confirm compliance with energy efficiency performance goals. These pathways allow a facility operator to demonstrate the achievement of energy performance goals using a number of energy performance indication models. The website containing detailed information about ISO 50001 can be accessed at: http://www.energy.gov/isosep. California is in a drought emergency.
