Introduction
0.1 General
It is important to engage all types of organizations and, in particular, small and medium-sized
organizations (SMOs) into the broad scale implementation of energy management because of the
significant potential such organizations have for energy performance improvement, associated energy
cost savings and reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
This document is intended to enable organizations to initiate and improve energy management
practices by following a systematic approach with appropriate effort given their resources and context,
resulting in continual energy performance improvement.
This document provides practical guidance to undertake a phased implementation of an energy
management system (EnMS), e.g. by using in-house capacity. The functioning EnMS can subsequently
be extended to meet the requirements of ISO 50001. A well-planned phased implementation of an EnMS
can reduce costs and the use of other resources while providing near-term success on which to build.
This can help in overcoming barriers for implementation in organizations with limited resources, such
as SMOs.
This document explains a phased implementation approach using twelve core elements based on
ISO 50001:2018. It outlines the content of the elements and describes four different levels of maturity
for each element. Annex A includes best practices for continual improvement of an EnMS by using a
phased approach. An organization can select appropriate tools to find an effective and efficient approach
to achieve the desired maturity of its EnMS. The element(s) and the corresponding maturity level(s)
targeted depend on the organization’s objectives and strategic direction. The EnMS can be integrated
with other management systems to benefit from common structures.
In this document, both terms “energy performance improvement” (as defined in ISO 50001:2018) and
“energy savings” are used. Energy savings is considered as a subset of energy performance improvement
in this document.

0.2 Advantages of a phased implementation
Implementing an EnMS in an organization can be a challenge. Organizations can have limited resources
(e.g. knowledge and availability of personnel) in order to successfully implement an EnMS. A phased
implementation results in several benefits to the organization. The phased implementation described
in this document offers flexibility that allows an organization to:
— decide the scope and pace of its EnMS implementation to suit available resources and organizational
needs;
— decide on the elements to target and the desired maturity level(s);
— start with areas that indicate the greatest potential for energy performance improvement, return
on investment or align with current operational practices;
— stimulate a positive culture towards energy management;
— deliver simple and/or low-cost energy performance improvements and associated energy cost
savings, emission reductions and other benefits;
— build initial successes to increase credibility and thus secure commitment and support for further
development of the EnMS;
— build a strong foundation to expand an existing EnMS towards meeting the requirements of
ISO 50001.

Energy management systems — Guidelines for a phased


implementation

1 Scope
This document gives guidance for organizations on establishing a phased approach to implement an
energy management system (EnMS). This phased approach is intended to support and simplify the
implementation of an EnMS for all types of organizations, in particular for small and medium-sized
organizations (SMOs).
This document gives guidance on the use of twelve core elements with four levels of maturity for each
element to establish, implement, maintain and improve an EnMS that results in energy performance
improvement.
It enables the user of this document to implement a phased approach to achieve a level of energy
management appropriate to its objectives and to build a strong foundation which can subsequently
be extended towards meeting the requirements of ISO 50001:2018. This document is consistent with
ISO 50001:2018 but does not cover all of its requirements.

4 The maturity model approach to implementing an EnMS

4.1 Explanation and structure of the maturity model


Using a maturity model helps an organization to assess the effectiveness of its current business
processes in order to follow a systematic and organized approach in achieving improved performance.
The maturity model that forms the basis of this document consists of twelve core elements of energy
management with four levels of maturity for each element.
The elements in this document either refer to a clause of ISO 50001:2018 or an important subclause
such as energy review.
The maturity model provides a simplified, systematic framework to implement and improve an EnMS
suitable to the organization’s needs and capabilities by using a phased approach. It describes criteria
including detailed behaviours, practices and processes. The organization initially uses the maturity

ISO 50005:2021(E)


model to understand its current state and to establish initial improvement goals. Then the organization
can implement EnMS improvements in phases.
As the organization progresses from its individual starting point towards the desired level of EnMS
maturity, it should improve energy performance. This improved energy performance is understood as
an improvement in energy efficiency or energy consumption related to energy use which can result in
reduced energy costs. The twelve elements of the maturity model are described in Clause 5. For each
level in an element, the given criteria describe(s) “what” needs to be in place at that level. Where not
stated otherwise, the criteria are addressed to the organization. This model does not provide specific
approaches on “how” the level can be achieved. The elements are divided into topics for clarity and to
make it easier for the user to implement the criteria for the elements.
Based on the analysis of the current state of energy management practices, the organization can choose
an appropriate speed of implementation and the desired level of maturity for each element. Whatever be
the starting point, the organization needs to work on each element. It is possible that the organization
needs additional resources (e.g. time, personnel, knowledge, budget).
Predictability, effectiveness and control of the EnMS should improve as the organization moves up to
higher levels in each element. The maturity model provides a continuum along which progress can be
made incrementally from one level to the next. The four levels represent a progression from a low level
of energy management experience to a level approaching ISO 50001 conformity. The four levels can
generally be described as follows.
a) Level 1: Enabling energy management: initial management support, some awareness and
understanding of energy use and opportunities for energy savings, collection of some energy data
(e.g. energy bills), no systematic energy management practices.
b) Level 2: Enhancing energy management: energy policy in place, formal team, conduct basic analysis
of energy consumption and energy cost data, evaluate opportunities for energy savings, some
systematic energy management practices.
c) Level 3: Emerging EnMS: systematic energy management practices, energy management becomes

strategic, monitoring and review improved, legal compliance is part of the EnMS, the organization
learns.
d) Level 4: Established EnMS: continual improvement of the EnMS and energy performance, core
elements of ISO 50001 implemented, ready for gap analysis versus ISO 50001, if desired.
NOTE Reaching Level 4 for all twelve elements does not necessarily lead to meeting all the requirements of
ISO 50001:2018.

When using the maturity model, the organization should consider that for each topic under an element
the criteria for a certain level can include the criteria of the previous levels in a cumulative manner.
Although the levels build on each other, they do not necessarily have to be implemented in four
sequential steps. If, for example, the organization has planned to reach Level 3 of a certain element,
it does not have to first implement Level 1, Level 2 and then Level 3. It can implement Level 3 directly,
taking into account the criteria of Levels 1 and 2.
Where there are blanks in the element tables, no criteria (e.g. see Figure 1 Level 1) or no additional
criteria (e.g. see Figure 1 Level 3) are required at that level. This means to maintain the criteria
implemented at the previous level.
For organizations that want to enhance their EnMS, additional advice and best practices are given in
Annex A. A level version of the maturity model is given in Annex B. The twelve elements of the maturity
model are described in Tables 1 to 12 in Clause 5.

4.2 Phased implementation of an EnMS using the maturity model

4.2.1 General

The phased implementation is a project guideline consisting of elements and levels that target the
desired state of an EnMS. The starting point depends on the previous experience and situation of the
organization. It is also possible to focus only on some of the elements or topics individually. Nevertheless,
if all elements, topics and criteria for each level are implemented, then conformity to ISO 50001 can be
achieved with some additions and adjustments (see 4.2.7). An example of a practical procedure for the
phased implementation is given in 4.2.2 to 4.2.7.

University of Toronto User.


4.2.2 Assess the organization’s initial situation

If the organization has no experience with a management system or specifically an EnMS, it is difficult
to estimate the work that lies ahead. The practical guidance to a phased implementation approach
provided in this document is based on the fact that every organization has some kind of energy
management in place. However, perhaps it is not well structured or does not cover all elements of good
practice of energy management.
It is often the case that some elements of an EnMS, such as energy performance improvement actions,
are in place at some level, but are not yet systematically implemented in the context of a management
system. The described elements and levels can be used as a self-assessment tool. A simple table can be
created for this purpose that gives an overview of which elements and topics are already addressed in
the organization and, if they do exist, at what level they are functioning with respect to the planned
EnMS (see Figure 2). The organization can assess what has already been implemented and what steps
still need to be taken.

ISO 50005:2021(E)


Self-assessment is a good starting point to show to top management where the organization stands
with regard to an EnMS. Self-assessment should be used to determine the organization’s status, as well
as best practices both at an overall level and at the level of each element.
A level of a certain topic of an element is considered to be achieved when all listed criteria at that level
for the topic have been fulfilled. Achievement of a particular level of a certain topic of the element
requires that all lower-level criteria have been fulfilled.
The next step to pursue is determined by the goal of the organization for the phased implementation.

4.2.3 Set and confirm a goal for the phased implementation

There are several ways of defining an EnMS implementation goal. This subclause describes two
useful approaches. They should be coordinated with top management so that the results and strategic
direction resulting from the development of a business case (see 4.2.4) can be taken into account.
Each level corresponds to an increasing progression for each criteria of a topic under an element. The
first step is to define the desired level for each topic. Before setting a goal, it is necessary to ensure that
resources such as money, time and personnel are available to complete the desired element level and
whether it will be advantageous to the organization. This process is presented in Figure 3.

Key

X set goal

University of Toronto User.


Figure 3 — Set first goals

The organization has the choice between two approaches to define and schedule the specific goals
depending on the desired outcome. The first one is an individual way where the goal for each topic is
set at an individual level. The second approach is to choose a given level as a goal for all topics. Figure 4
shows an example of how a simple overview can look.

Figure 4 — Different approaches to define goals

ISO 50005:2021(E)


The individual approach can suffer from the problem of interdependence between the processes
described in the topics. The organization should ensure that it takes into account these
interdependencies.
Given the individual approach in the example in Figure 4, Level 2 in Topic 1 and Level 3 for Topic 2 is
expected to be reached in October 2022 while others are scheduled for May 2022. This also illustrates
that different levels can be reached at the same time. If a level-based procedure is chosen, all topics reach
the same level at the same time, e.g. in October 2022. Ultimately, the agreed goal should be adopted and
approved by the top management. This ensures a certain security and support in the implementation of
the necessary measures.

4.2.4 Set up a simple business case

Effective implementation of an EnMS can provide net benefits to most organizations. This means that
a business case can be developed for the implementation of an EnMS. Although it is not easy to set up a
very detailed business case directly at the beginning of the implementation process, it is crucial to get a
first overview of potential benefits as a basis for further decisions or setting goals. Thus, a preliminary
estimate of the costs and benefits and the connected investments should be developed.

4.2.5 Set up a project plan

The organization should develop a project plan with the number of elements and levels that will allow
the desired goals to be achieved. The project plan should include tasks, responsibilities, resources, a
timeline (e.g. GANTT chart), milestones, the aim and management reviews. The project plan should be
approved by top management.

4.2.6 Monitor the implementation of the project plan

The following steps should be taken:


— regularly review ongoing project management activities;

University of Toronto User.


— complete the implementation towards the goal;
— review the process;
— reassess the maturity model framework (e.g. bi-annually);
— improve and, if appropriate, set a new goal.

4.2.7 Gap analysis versus ISO 50001:2018

Achieving Level 4 in the maturity model for all elements does not mean that the organization’s EnMS
meets all the requirements of ISO 50001:2018. In the maturity model, core elements of ISO 50001:2018
have been selected. However, there can be other requirements to be met in order to achieve conformity
to ISO 50001:2018 in addition to these. If the organization wishes to demonstrate conformity to
ISO 50001:2018, a gap analysis will generally be needed.

5 Description of elements and levels

5.1 Element 1 — Context of the organization


To be aware of its own context, the organization needs to determine:
— external and internal issues such as resources, personnel capacities and energy types;
— needs and expectations of its interested parties such as legal requirements and agreements with
suppliers.

ISO 50005:2021(E)


External and internal issues as well as the needs and expectations and associated risks and
opportunities that are relevant to the EnMS should be considered by the organization. Building on that
analysis, the organization can take action to address identified opportunities (e.g. external funding of
energy performance improvement actions such as incentives and subsidies) and risks (e.g. insufficient
resources to implement the EnMS) in order to achieve the best possible outcome from its EnMS.
The organization should determine how legal requirements and other requirements apply to its
EnMS. Common business practices in the industry sector in which the organization functions can also
affect the design and implementation of the EnMS. The criteria related to the element “context of the
organization” are shown in Table 1.
The content of this element relates to ISO 50001:2018, 4.1, 4.2 and 6.1.

5.2 Element 2 — Leadership


It is essential that top management demonstrates its leadership and commitment with respect to
continual improvement of energy performance and effectiveness of the EnMS. In this element, the tasks
of top management are described to demonstrate ongoing engagement and commitment. An energy
policy gives evidence of the support and commitment of the leadership to implement and improve the
organization’s EnMS and energy performance.
Top management should assign the responsibility to at least one person for leading the implementation
of an EnMS. Depending on the size and complexity of the organization, the person(s) to whom the
responsibility is assigned should form a team to execute the necessary tasks. In this document, the
term “energy management team (EnMT)” is used although a single person can perform the role of the
team in some organizations. The EnMT should comprise personnel representing different functions of
the organization forming an interdisciplinary team. This helps to get a broader view of the energy-
related topics within the organization and to promote acceptance of the EnMS.

University of Toronto User.


The responsibility and authority of the EnMT should be set out clearly by top management. This
can be greatly facilitated if top management supports resource allocation within the organization
for the formation of the EnMT. Active involvement of the relevant personnel who can impact energy
performance or the EnMS is essential for a successful implementation of an EnMS. The criteria related
to the element “leadership” are shown in Table 2.

5.4 Element 4 — Energy review


The energy review is a process that enables the organization to learn how energy is used and how it
affects its facilities. It is part of the energy planning process and consists of a set of activities.
One result of the energy review is the identification of significant energy uses (SEUs). These are
identified by energy uses accounting for substantial energy consumption and/or offering considerable
potential for energy performance improvement. The criteria for what makes an energy use “significant”
are determined by the organization. If measured energy consumption data are limited, organizational
knowledge, e.g. data sheets, can be used to identify SEUs.
Another result of the energy review is the estimation of future energy use(s) and energy consumption.
This information can be useful in the preparation of annual budgets of the organization.
An energy audit in accordance with ISO 50002 or similar national standards can provide information
on many parts of the energy review.
The energy review is updated at defined intervals as well as in response to major changes in the
facilities, equipment, systems or energy-using processes.
To develop and conduct the energy review, the organization analyses energy use and consumption data
based on measurements and other data. Sources of data to be collected or acquired by measurement
include:
— measuring instruments (local or remote);

— data sheets of equipment;


— technical documents;
— discussions with operations and maintenance (O&M) personnel.
For the analysis, there should be a breakdown by energy type. Where practical, energy meters should
be installed. The extent of metering typically depends on what is being measured and on the required
accuracy and repeatability. The criteria related to the element “energy review” are shown in Table 4.

5.5 Element 5 — Energy performance indicators and energy baselines


The energy performance indicator (EnPI) is the measure or unit of energy performance. EnPIs can
be expressed by using a simple metric, ratio or a model. Energy baselines (EnBs) are quantitative
reference(s) for comparison of energy performance. Using EnPI values and EnBs can help to establish
and quantify energy performance improvements and can also identify any abnormal situations where
energy performance significantly deviates from the expected value.
As an introduction, a regular recording of energy consumption data (e.g. monthly) and an analysis of
the data, e.g. in an accounting spreadsheet, can be helpful to identify energy trends.
The following procedure describes how to develop EnPIs effectively:
— consider the level at which the EnPI can be applied (facility, equipment, system or energy using
processes);
— brainstorm all potential variables (e.g. production volume, weather) based on practical knowledge
of the energy consumption within the EnPI boundary;
— collect historical energy consumption data and variables that are potentially relevant;

University of Toronto User.


— establish criteria that will be used to determine if a variable is relevant or not;
— conduct a preliminary analysis to determine which variables need to be analysed against the
established criteria (e.g. correlation analysis using scatter diagrams);
— identify and define which variables are significantly impacting energy performance and do routinely
change, and are thus relevant;
— establish EnPIs, considering the identified relevant variables;
— establish a baseline (e.g. annual energy consumption) that accounts for the impacts of relevant
variables on energy performance;
— document the changes of the EnPI values compared to the EnBs.
NOTE For more information, see ISO 50006.

The criteria related to the element “energy performance indicators and energy baselines” are shown in
Table 5.

5.6 Element 6 — Objectives, energy targets and action plans


Objectives are results to be achieved such as intended results or operational criteria. Objectives can
directly relate to energy performance, although this is not necessarily the case. Energy targets are the
quantifiable objectives of energy performance improvement and can be included within an objective.
As a first step, the organization should consider which objectives and energy targets it would like to
achieve. It is possible that there are already some initial ideas by which energy consumption can be
reduced and energy efficiency increased. The action plan is the link between objectives, opportunities,
the associated measures and a plan for implementation, including resource planning.
An action plan defines the activities to be carried out in order to achieve the objectives and energy
targets. It includes what will be done, who will be responsible, what resources will be required, when
it will be completed and how the results will be evaluated. The plan designates the responsibilities and
deadlines. It is the driver for continual improvement of the EnMS and energy performance. The criteria
related to the element “objectives, energy targets and action plans” are shown in Table 6.
The content of this element relates to ISO 50001:2018, 6.2.

5.7 Element 7 — Competence and awareness


The organization should raise awareness among employees, and inform and motivate them, so that
their daily activities can help in the improvement of energy performance.
In addition, the organization should identify competence gaps based on the level of current competence
(education, skill, training or experience) and necessary competence related to the EnMS and energy
performance and should take actions to fill the identified gaps. The criteria related to the element
“competence and awareness” are shown in Table 7.

Optimization of planning, implementation and control of O&M processes related to SEUs can lead to an
improvement in energy performance. Effective control of the O&M of the infrastructure is important to
maintain and prevent a deterioration in energy performance. Establishing O&M criteria for facilities,
equipment, systems and processes is a key activity in an EnMS.

provide opportunities to improve an organization’s energy performance. Organizations should conduct
these activities to ensure that energy performance improvement opportunities are evaluated by
balancing both long- and short-term benefits. Metrics which can be considered are pay-back period, net
present value or internal rate of return.
This can be done at the design stage by considering energy performance as part of the project goals.
Design considerations can take varied forms such as energy efficient technologies, heat recovery and
peak power management to minimize life cycle costs.
Suppliers of products, equipment and services are to be informed that energy performance is one of
the evaluation criteria in making procurement decisions. Common metrics for the evaluation include
assessing the benefits (including reduced energy costs) and costs (including higher initial cost) for
major business investments. The criteria related to the element “procurement and design” are shown in
Table 9.

5.10 Element 10 – Process for communication and control of documented information


The organization should establish a process to control the documented information. The extent of
documented information for an EnMS can differ from one organization to another depending on the
size of the organization, its activities, products and services, the complexity of its processes and the
competence of personnel. Documented information can be in any format and media (e.g. paper, video,
audio, photos, electronic). Some of the elements include a topic called “documented information”
which describes the minimum documented information that an organization should have in its EnMS.
Documented information can be internal (e.g. manuals, drawings, purchase specification, maintenance
plans, results of monitoring and measurement, results of calibration of instruments) and external (e.g.
energy bills, laws and regulations, communications to/from legal authorities).
The organization should establish processes for internal and external communication. The
communication can be done using different modes, e.g. by emails, intranet or internet, meetings,
posters or competitions. Some of the elements include a topic called “communication” which describes
the minimum information that an organization should communicate. Communication can be with
internal (e.g. relevant personnel, top management, EnMT) or external (e.g. suppliers, customers, legal

performance

University of Toronto User.


The extent to which planned activities are realized and the intended results of the organization are
achieved requires ongoing monitoring of energy performance, evaluation of energy performance
improvement and investigation of significant deviations. Monitoring and measurement provides
information to determine the effectiveness of the energy management activities, if action plans are
being implemented and when corrective action is necessary.
The organization monitors and measures at a minimum the following key characteristics:
— operation of SEUs;
— EnPI(s);
— effectiveness of the action plans in achieving objectives and energy targets;
— actual versus expected energy consumption;
— compliance with legal requirements and other requirements.
This also enables evaluation of energy performance improvement and comparison with energy targets,
signalling corrective action if the activities fall short of expected energy performance improvement and
energy targets. Ultimately, evaluating energy performance at defined intervals enables the organization
to demonstrate continual improvement of energy performance. The criteria related to the element
“monitoring, measurement analysis and evaluation of energy performance” are shown in Table 11.
The content of this element relates to ISO 50001:2018, 9.1.1 and 9.1.2.

5.12 Element 12 — Management review and improvement


Top management should determine if the EnMS is effective, if the expected results have been achieved,
if changes to the EnMS are needed and if allocation of resources have to be made available. The first
step can be a review in the form of a management review, at least annually. In this way, the continuing
effectiveness of the EnMS can be checked.
It is very important to conduct an internal audit prior to the management review to determine if there
is room for improvement and to ascertain whether the EnMS is functioning. The outcome should be
presented to top management. The internal audit is conducted to provide information on whether

the EnMS conforms to the energy policy and the objectives and energy targets established by the
organization, and if the EnMS is functioning effectively and energy performance is improved.
When a deviation from an expected result is identified, the organization should determine the cause,
take remedial action to bring it back to normal and, for future activities, find solutions to prevent
recurrence.
Continual improvement promotes, supports and sustains energy performance improvement and
the achievement of other intended results. Continual improvement can be applied to any or all of the
processes of the EnMS. The criteria related to the element “management review and improvement” are
shown in Table 12.

Annex A
(informative)

Continual improvement and advancing of the EnMS

A.1 Satisfying ISO 50001:2018 requirements


This document will assist organizations in implementing energy management practices to manage their
energy. It is possible that the resulting EnMS does not fully meet the requirements of ISO 50001:2018
after completing Level 4 of the maturity model in the phased approach. Each organization determines
the appropriate level or goals to achieve. However, once the organization reaches Level 4, a natural
progression can be to consider conformity to ISO 50001 as a goal.
As indicated in 4.2.7, the first step to establishing a plan to meet the requirements of this goal is to
conduct a gap analysis between Level 4 and ISO 50001. Since each organization implements the maturity
levels based on their needs, the gaps to ISO 50001 will be unique to the organization and their own
implementation of energy management practices to get to Level 4. Following the methodology of this
document, the next step is the development of an action plan towards closing those gaps. This would
allow organizations to self-declare conformity to ISO 50001 or seek certification if that is their goal.
When determining these actions, the organization can come across different ways to conform to
ISO 50001 requirement(s); some can be very simple, others can be more complex but should always add
value to the organization. Consistent with management systems, continual improvement is a feature
that helps the organization ensure that their systems improve and continue to deliver benefits over
time.

A.2 Best practices
A.2.1 General
This subclause provides some more actions that can be taken at any stage of the development of the
EnMS. The actions are aligned with the elements presented throughout the document and can help
organizations to get a more robust and reliable EnMS. It also gives guidance to organizations on some
approaches that can be used to assist them in either further improvement of their existing EnMS in
meeting the requirement for continual improvement of energy performance over time and integrating
the EnMS into the strategic levels of the organization and social responsibility concerns.

A.2.2 Element 2 — Leadership
