Enrollment
Form
Version 2.0: 12-05-2014
The Superior Energy Performance® (SEP™) program provides a transparent, globally recognized system that facilities can use to improve their energy management and performance. SEP builds on the ISO 50001 framework for an energy management system (EnMS) and provides targets for improvements in energy performance.
Certification requires the use of the ISO 50001:2011 Energy management system-Requirements with guidance for use standard (ISO 50001)—and the American National Standard, ANSI/MSE 50021, and its normative references which specify energy performance criteria and additional requirements for the energy management system. To become certified, facilities must conform to ISO 50001 and ANSI/MSE 50021, improve energy performance, and undergo a SEP audit from an ANSI-ANAB accredited SEP Verification Body. SEP offers Silver, Gold, and Platinum certification performance levels. SEP certification is valid for three years as long as annual surveillance audits are completed. To continue SEP certification beyond three years, facilities must apply for recertification and undergo a recertification audit.
Enroll to gain access to resources for streamlining the SEP implementation process, such as program updates, tips, and phone support. No fees or commitment are required. Simply provide some basic facility and contact information to stay connected to the latest information on ISO 50001 and SEP. Enrolled facilities can also make the SEP Administrator aware of any special circumstances that relate to the facility’s SEP implementation.
How to enroll: Complete and submit the enrollment form on the following pages. Please submit the enrollment form to the SEP Administrator via email: superiorenergyperformance@ee.doe.gov.
For questions, contact the SEP Administrator: superiorenergyperformance@ee.doe.gov.

DOE maintains the confidentiality of proprietary energy and production related data as proprietary that is submitted to the Superior Energy Performance (SEP) program by SEP certified facilities, to the fullest extent of the law. Data included within the SEP Enrollment and Application forms, SEP Energy Performance Improvement Report and SEP Voluntary Cost Benefit Form will not be released publicly. DOE will make public the following information about each SEP certified facility:
1. Facility name
2. Facility location (city, state)
3. Verified Achievement Level (e.g., Silver, Gold, or Platinum)
4. Verified Reporting Period Energy Performance Improvement
5. Certification date (month/year)
DOE will, from time-to-time, publicly share aggregate, program-wide metrics, such as number of SEP certified plants, and annual and cumulative SEP program energy savings.
All data provided to DOE is subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), however, DOE will notify partners if a FOIA request has been submitted for which their data might be responsive. DOE will consult with the partner and ensure the partner has an opportunity to inform DOE what data they view is proprietary.
