32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Energy performance
- Measurable results related to energy efficiency, energy use, and energy consumption, determined against the organization's energy policy, objectives, and criteria. It is the outcome the EnMS must improve.
- Energy baseline
- A quantitative reference providing a basis for comparison of energy performance, established from data in a defined period and adjusted for relevant variables when conditions change significantly.
- Energy performance indicator
- A measure or metric of energy performance, such as kWh per tonne produced, that allows the organization to track and compare performance against the baseline over time.
- Relevant variable
- A quantifiable factor that significantly affects energy performance, such as production volume, weather, operating hours, or occupancy, and that may require normalization of the baseline.
- Significant energy use
- Energy use accounting for substantial energy consumption or offering considerable improvement potential, identified using documented criteria during the energy review.
- PDCA in EnMS
- Plan establishes objectives and action plans; Do implements them; Check monitors and evaluates performance; Act takes actions for continual improvement of the EnMS and energy performance.
- EnMS scope
- The documented statement of organizational and physical boundaries to which the energy management system applies, available to interested parties and supported by justified exclusions.
- Energy policy
- Top management's documented statement of commitment to continual improvement of energy performance, availability of information and resources, and integration into business processes.
- Management review
- A planned top-management evaluation of EnMS suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness, including energy performance, baseline status, audit results, and improvement opportunities.
- Documented information
- Information required to be controlled and maintained by the organization, including documents and records, protected, version-controlled, and retained per defined rules.
- Interested parties
- Persons or organizations that can affect, be affected by, or perceive themselves affected by the EnMS, whose relevant requirements must be determined and considered.
- Energy review
- Analysis of energy use and consumption based on measurement and other data, identifying significant energy uses, relevant variables, current performance, and persons influencing energy use.
- Energy action plan
- A documented plan specifying the actions, resources, responsible persons, timeframes, and method of verifying results needed to achieve objectives and energy targets.
- Objectives and energy targets
- Measurable outcomes set consistent with the energy policy, considering significant energy uses and legal requirements, and supported by energy action plans.
- Legal and other requirements
- Energy-related legislation, permits, and voluntary commitments applicable to the organization, which must be identified, accessed, and considered in planning the EnMS.
- SEU identification criteria
- Documented criteria, such as share of total consumption or improvement potential, used to determine which energy uses are significant and therefore prioritized for control.
- Operational control
- Criteria and controls established for processes associated with significant energy uses, including control of planned changes and influencing outsourced processes affecting energy performance.
- Design for energy performance
- Consideration of energy performance improvement opportunities in the design of new, modified, or renovated facilities, equipment, systems, and processes.
- Procurement energy criteria
- Specified energy performance requirements applied when purchasing energy-using products, equipment, and services, and when establishing energy supply agreements.
- Competence for EnMS
- Determination of necessary competence for persons whose work affects energy performance, ensuring they are competent and retaining documented evidence of competence.
- Energy awareness
- Persons working under the organization's control understand the energy policy, their contribution to energy performance, and implications of not conforming.
- Monitoring and measurement
- Determined what, how, and when to measure energy performance, with analysis and evaluation against EnPIs and the baseline, using calibrated or verified equipment.
- Internal audit
- A planned, objective, and impartial evaluation of whether the EnMS conforms to the organization's requirements and ISO 50001 and is effectively implemented.
- Deviation investigation
- A response to significant deviations from expected energy performance, requiring investigation of causes and actions to restore performance and prevent recurrence.
- Calibration of meters
- Verification of monitoring and measurement equipment against recognized standards, with records retained; where no standard exists, the verification basis is documented.
- Management review inputs
- Required review information including energy performance, baseline and EnPI status, legal compliance, audit results, nonconformities, and improvement opportunities.
- Corrective action
- Action to eliminate the cause of a nonconformity and prevent recurrence, including evaluation of need, implementation, review of effectiveness, and updating risks and opportunities.
- Nonconformity
- Failure to meet a requirement of ISO 50001 or the organization's own EnMS requirements, requiring reaction, correction, and corrective action where appropriate.
- Continual improvement
- Recurring activity to enhance the suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the EnMS and to improve energy performance, evidenced by measurable trends.
- Updating the energy review
- Re-evaluation of energy use, significant energy uses, relevant variables, and baselines when significant changes to facilities, equipment, systems, or processes occur.
- Stage 1 audit
- Initial certification audit phase reviewing readiness, including documented information, scope, energy review, SEUs, EnPIs, baselines, internal audit, and management review.
- Stage 2 audit
- Certification audit phase verifying implementation and effectiveness, including energy performance evidence, operational control, competence, and conformity to ISO 50001.
