Sheet 2: EP

	Energy Performance Improvement (EP)			Back to Scorecard
	The EP category differs from the rest of the Scorecard in that points are based on the SEP 50001 verification audit and the third-party verified SEP 50001 Energy Performance Indicator (SEnPI) value. The other difference is that the only way to upgrade EP points during the SEP 50001 recognition cycle is to seek an early recertification to SEP 50001 to obtain a new verified SEnPI value, as opposed to resubmitting an updated Scorecard for the other credit categories.

	EP 1	Energy Performance Improvement		0	33
		INTENT	To encourage additional improvement in energy performance above and beyond the basic ISO 50001 requirement of continuous improvement.
		CREDIT STATEMENT	Positive energy performance improvement, SEnPI (greater than 0.0% over the 50001 SEP achievement period, rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent), has been achieved per 50001 SEP certification using the SEP 50001 Program Measurement and Verification (M&V) Protocol. The M&V Protocol sets forth the verifiable methodology for determining and demonstrating achievement of the energy performance improvement percentage claimed by an organization for a defined facility. The determination and demonstration of energy performance improvement is based upon the comparison of top-down and bottom-up approaches to calculate energy performance improvement. EP1 credit points = AEPI * EI * (4 + A + B + C) Verified energy performance improvement percentage from the SEP 50001 certification is “annualized” by dividing the percentage by the number of months in the SEP 50001 achievement period(s), and then multiplying by 12. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annualized SEnPI Percentage Improvement (AEPI): AEPI = verified energy performance improvement (%) / achievement period(s) (months)) * 12 There is a maximum of 33 points awarded for this credit. Points achieved are rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, the calculation to annualize a 9% improvement over 3 years: (9%/36 months) * 12 = 3%. To calculate the AEPI for 5% improvement over a 2-year SEP 50001 achievement period: (5.0% / 24 months) * 12 = 2.5%. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EI: The factor EI is determined by the sector the facility is within and is defined as: EI = 3 if the facility is within an energy-intensive industrial sector: Wet Corn Milling, Sugar, Wood Products, Paper, Petroleum, Chemicals, Non-Metallic Minerals and Primary Metals [NAICS 3-digits: 311221, 31131, 321, 322, 324, 325, 327 & 331]; otherwise EI= 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: The factor A relates to a facility’s ENERGY STAR certification or the facility’s corporation’s or organization’s being a partner in good standing (including reporting energy data annually) with the DOE Better Buildings or Better Plants program and is defined as: A = 3 if the facility has a current ENERGY STAR EPI Benchmark certification (industrial) or ENERGY STAR certification (commercial building) at the time of the SEP 50001 certification date or the facility contributes to a corporation or organization’s portfolio of facilities that annually report energy intensity through the DOE Better Plants program; otherwise A=0. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B: The factor B relates to the facility’s prior 10 year energy performance improvement and is defined as: B= 5 if the facility is being certified to SEP 50001 for the first time and the energy performance improvement in the past 10 years relative to their SEP 50001 reporting period has improved: o > 2% per year, on average, for non-energy intensive facilities o > 1% per year, on average, for energy intensive facilities, or o The facility has been ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry recognized in the most recent one to three years. This recognition involves improving energy intensity by 10% or more over 5 years. o The facility’s organization has successfully met their Better Buildings or Better Plants commitment and are part of a new energy saving commitment. If none of the above applies, and the facility has been certified to SEP 50001 more than once, then B=0. Note 1 for B: The 10 year energy performance improvement may be based on simple energy intensity (e.g., energy per manufacturing production, etc.) or normalized energy performance improvement based on a statistically valid regression model. Note 2 for B: The 10 year look back on energy performance improvement is from the SEP 50001 reporting year. For example, if the SEP 50001 reporting year was 2018 then the 10 year improvement period would be from 2008 to 2018, with 2008 being the baseline year. Note 3 for B: The energy intensity or normalized energy performance improvement could be quantified and demonstrated through the use of DOE’s Energy Footprint or EnPI (Excel or online) tools, EPA Portfolio Manager or other equivalent tool. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C: The factor C relates to the number of SEP 50001 certifications and is defined as: C= 3 if the facility has 1 prior SEP 50001 certification; C=6 if the facility has 2 prior SEP 50001 certifications; and C=9 if the facility has 3 or more prior SEP 50001 certifications; otherwise C= 0
		Measurement and Verification Criteria	▶ Has the facility's Energy Performance Improvement Report been submitted to the Administrator? An accredited SEP 50001 Verification Body (VB) must use an SEP Performance Verifier (PV) to verify positive improvement in energy performance using processes defined by SEP 50001 certification. The VB reports the verified energy performance improvement percentage and achievement period (in months) to the Administrator via the SEP 50001 Energy Performance Improvement Report (EPIR). Organizations that are upgrading EP1 points at 12/24 months after their SEP 50001 program certification must use an internal or external SEP PV to verify the new SEnPI, and then submit an updated SEP 50001 EPIR, along with their updated Declaration, to the Administrator.

Sheet 3: DM

	Energy Data, Monitoring and Measurement (DM)			Back to Scorecard
	ISO 50001 develops a culture of energy awareness, ownership, and management. An organization cannot effectively manage energy if it lacks the proper and actionable energy data. Monitoring and measuring is the primary means to understand the organization’s level of energy consumption and to control and ultimately reduce energy consumption. Energy consumption data are also useful to evaluate equipment and systems prior to purchase and installation so that the optimal option can be acquired to minimize operating expenses. To ensure that equipment continues to operate at peak performance levels, energy consumption must be monitored, collected, and analyzed during operation. Deteriorating energy performance can often signal a need for adjustments or other maintenance activities necessary to restore equipment to peak operating performance. In addition, energy data monitoring can be a critical component in proper process operation when process parameters have changed, indicating detrimental results on energy consumption. Energy consumption data are also necessary to evaluate the results of process or equipment changes implemented. Data monitoring and measurement is only the first step in the effective use of energy information. Once energy data are collected, data analyses are required to determine the performance of the organization’s equipment and systems. Organizations can use the analyses to make decisions regarding process changes, process or equipment improvements, or the need for equipment maintenance. Analysis is also necessary to determine the root cause of any deterioration in efficiency. Data are critical to defining and improving performance through the SEP 50001 program.

Sheet 4: SU

	Significant Energy Uses (SU)			Back to Scorecard
	Significant energy uses are the equipment, processes, applications, or activities identified as being chief components of the organization’s energy consumption and providing the largest improvement opportunities. In addition, these SEUs also pose the largest risk if they are not managed effectively. Management of the SEUs entails a combination of activities. It is essential that SEUs are monitored, controlled, and maintained as appropriate to ensure continued or improved energy performance. In addition, energy considerations should be examined when purchasing new equipment or systems that are associated with the SEUs. Without the proper management of SEUs, energy consumption can quickly increase due to the magnitude of energy consumption by these uses. Poor purchasing decisions or improper operation of related equipment can drastically impact an organization's energy consumption. Large fluctuations in consumption could diminish performance improvements made in other areas of the organization. Maintenance is another key component: even the most energy-efficient equipment can become inefficient if unchecked, resulting in increased energy consumption.

Sheet 5: EO

	Management of Energy Opportunities (EO)			Back to Scorecard
	The concept of management of energy opportunities is intentionally broad and incorporates many types of activities including purchasing, operational control, maintenance practices, and traditional capital improvement, among others. Organizations implement many action plans within their organization that have multiple benefits including energy savings. In some cases, energy savings may not be the primary goal. Management of energy opportunities is a technical category that refers to the activities associated with identifying, planning, prioritizing, and implementing opportunities for energy performance improvement. Several key concepts in the ISO 50001 standard concerning this topic are: ▶ Implementing energy improvement opportunities is a means for achieving objectives and targets. Prioritizing these opportunities should result from careful planning that is influenced by an organization’s energy policy, legal requirements, and its financial and business objectives. ▶ Action plans are documents that show the details required to implement energy performance opportunities. ▶ Action plans should be implemented as planned, including the post-installation measurement and verification of energy performance improvement. ▶ Changes resulting from improvements in energy performance should be incorporated into the management system. ▶ Action plans must be evaluated to ensure that they are effective.

	AS 2	Use of On-Site Renewable and Recovered Energy		0	1 to 10
		INTENT	To promote the installation of energy technologies that produce useful energy from renewable or recovered energy sources. These technologies lead to greater energy security, reliability, and improved economics in addition to other on-site benefits. While the SEnPI measures the actual energy output of these energy technologies, this credit examines the capacity of the installed system as a percentage of the facility’s average energy consumption rate.
		CREDIT STATEMENT	A facility may only claim points from one of two categories: pre-installation (Renewable Potential) or operation (Installed Renewable and/or Recovered Energy Systems). Renewable Potential. Facility conducts analysis of the potential for renewable or recovered energy systems. A qualification screening is a high level economic analysis that accounts for energy use and prices. A feasibility study is a detailed engineering analysis that includes proposed size of the system, technology employed, system efficiency, avoided cost, and expected investment. The qualification screening and/or feasibility study shall have been conducted during the last three years. Installed Renewable and/or Recovered Energy Systems. Renewable and recovered energy types include: biomass, geothermal, solar, wind, bio-gas, municipal solid waste, waste fuels, waste gases, and any fuel or gas recovered from within the Scope of the EnMS that are consumed to supply heat and/or power within the boundaries of the EnMS. The facility may seek approval from the Administrator for any renewable and/or recovered energy sources not on this list. A facility calculates its Renewable and Recovered Fuels/Gases Capacity Factor as follows: Renewable and Recovered Fuels/Gases Capacity Factor = A / B * 100 (%) A = Total nameplate power capacity of renewable and recovered fuel/gas systems (MMBTU per hour) B = Average facility source energy consumption rate (MMBTU per hour) A (MM Btu per hour) = [ sum of all renewable electrical nameplate capacity (kW) * 3412 (Btu/kW) ÷ 106 (million Btus/MMBTU) ] + [ sum of all renewable non-electrical nameplate capacity (MMBTU per Hour)] + [ sum of all recover fuels and gases (MMBTU per Hour) ] B (MMBTU per hour) = [ SEP 50001 certification reporting year period primary (source) energy consumption of all purchased and onsite renewable generated energy (MMBTU)2 ] ÷ total annual hours of site operation Note 1: Site maximum hours are 8,760 hours per year. Some sites operate less than 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Note 2: The SEP 50001 Verification Body verifies and reports this number and to the Administrator on the SEP 50001 Energy Performance Improvement Report. Note 3: This credit requires the actual consumption of the renewable and/or recovered energy on-site. An organization-owned off-site renewable facility can be included in the SEP 50001 scope and boundary. Purchases of renewable or recovered energy credits do not qualify.
