Implementing ISO 50001 for the Dublin Institute of Technology Stephen Folan - DIT Estates Manager
Global-EU/Irish Background • Koyoto 2008-2012 (Doha 2012 on) • Ireland 2009 • national target of improving energy efficiency by 20% by 2020 • public sector target of 33%. • Ireland 2015 • public sector was using 21% less • avoided costs of €619m • emissions savings of 548,000 tonnes of CO2
Irish Public Sector Initiatives • Power@Work Behavioural Change Programme • The Energy in Education Programme • The Green Public Procurement • The National Energy Services Framework/Project Assistance Grants • EU Article 8 : Compliance • Article 15 : Compliance • SEAI’s Public Sector Partnership Programme • The SEAI Public Sector ISO 50001 programme • 28 large public sector energy users signed up Public Sector Energy Efficiency Strategy (Jan 2017, pp18-19)
ISO 50001? ISO 50001 helps organizations in all sectors, use energy more efficiently.
Why ISO 50001? IS 426 - all buildings with an energy spend over €35,000 must carry out an energy audit. DIT • with an annual energy spend of €2m+ • ISO 50001 to provide more CO2 & € savings
SEAI & ISO 50001 • to help public bodies through the process of achieving ISO 50001 • over 12 months • 10 workshops • last one : 22nd of March 2017.
Requirements of ISO 50001 • 4.1 General Requirements • 4.2 Management Responsibility • 4.3 Energy Policy • 4.4 Energy Planning • 4.4.1 General • 4.4.2 Legal and Other Requirements • 4.4.3Energy Review
Requirements of ISO 50001 • 4.4.4 Energy Baselines • 4.4.5 Energy Performance Indicators • 4.4.6 Objectives, Targets and Action Plans • 4.5 Implementation and Operation • 4.5.2 Competence, training and awareness • 4.5.3 Communication • 4.5.4.1 Documentation requirements
Requirements of ISO 50001 • 4.5.4.2 Control of Documents • 4.5.5 Operational Control • 4.5.5 Design • 4.5.7 Procurement of services, products equipment & energy • 4.6 Checking • 4.6.1 Monitoring, Measuring and analysis
Requirements of ISO 50001 • 4.6.2 Evaluation of compliance • 4.6.3 Internal Audit of the EnMS Clause • 4.6.4 Nonconformities, corrective and preventative action • 4.6.5 Control of records Clause • 4.7 Management Review
DIT’s Energy Policy Aim - to meet or exceed energy legislation. A revised version of this policy is waiting to be signed off by SLT.
ISO 50001 Requirement to • establish, document, implement & improve its EnMS. Therefore, with the EnMS need to • define and document the scope and boundaries of • seek how to achieve continual improvement of its energy performance and EnMS So what is DIT’s scope and boundaries?
DIT’s Scope & Boundaries To capture > 75% of DIT’s total primary energy usage • This energy is consumed by • students, teachers, staff and visitors. • With DIT having 39 buildings • decided only the top 4 sites to be included. • Making them SEUs (significant energy users).
EnPI’s & Relevant Variables Energy performance indicators • DIT’s EnPI’s will be KWh/Floor area Relevant Variables • opening hours per SEU • for thermal : heating degree days per SEU
Status of Certification • 75% complete so far • To do • more document control • return of signed revised energy policy • communication of energy policy • energy awareness campaign • management review, and • internal audit.
Dates of Audits • Stage 1 Audit – 14th June (1 Day) • Stage 2 Audit – 26th July (2 Days)
Issues Encountered • Resources • Staff & Student Involvement • keen to develop
Next Irish Public Sector Initiatives Main initiative likely to be of interest to DIT • Building & Process Design • Building Renovation • Sustained Support for Behavioural Change • Energy Efficiency & & Renewable Energy Public Sector Energy Efficiency Strategy (Jan 2017, pp21-26)
