Course description

A practitioner-focused, hands-on course that demystifies ISO 50001 and shows you how to design, implement, and sustain an Energy Management System (EnMS) that actually improves energy performance. We cover the PDCA backbone, energy review and significant energy uses (SEUs), setting EnPIs/EnBs, operational controls, procurement and design integration, measurement & verification, internal audits, and management review, plus practical tools, templates, and Canadian/BC context for legal and utility considerations.

What you’ll learn

• Map energy flows and complete the energy review to identify SEUs
• Set suitable EnPIs and EnBs, including normalization for relevant variables
• Build objectives, targets, and action plans that deliver verified savings
• Establish controls for SEUs, including maintenance and operational practices
• Integrate energy performance into design and procurement decisions
• Monitor, measure, and verify performance; prepare for internal audits and management review
• Align 50001 with existing ISO systems (e.g., 9001/14001/45001) for efficiency

Who should attend

• Energy managers, facility managers, maintenance leads
• HSE/ESG professionals and sustainability coordinators
• Quality/EMS/IMS managers integrating 50001 with other ISO standards
• Plant engineers, utilities supervisors, and project managers
• Consultants supporting EnMS design, audits, or certification readiness
• Executives and budget owners seeking cost and emissions reduction

Recommended

• Basic energy data literacy (kWh, GJ, power vs. energy, demand charges)
• Familiarity with metering/sub-metering, utility bills, and site equipment lists
• Working knowledge of spreadsheets and simple data analysis (trend, average, normalization)
• Exposure to any ISO management system (e.g., 9001/14001/45001) or PDCA concepts
• Awareness of local regulatory context and utility programs in your country/province
