Morning All

The question Sidney ask is exactly why I am here. Until now the energy consumption was not a criteria for purchase. But as it is very big ISO requirement we are getting there. Clause 8.3 requires to set “criteria for evaluating energy performance over the planned or expected operating lifetime, when procuring energy using products, equipment and services which are expected to have a significant impact on the organization's energy performance.”
our consultant sent me example form from 50004 - here attached and off course that opened complains from manager "There is going to be a lot of information entered onto that form that will be of no use to anyone once it is written down and it will take a lot of effort to find some of that info out."

what do you guys use?
can someone please share what format works within your organization

thank you

Moncia,

Naturally, as a large user of electrical energy you’d be concerned about energy efficiency when selecting, specifying, using and maintaining electrical equipment.

But where in your system are you avoiding use of fossil-fueled electrical energy? What are your plans to replace such energy with that from renewable sources?

It all starts with conservation and even if you have renewables as a mix from the power supplier or you have renewables onsite. The equipment needs to be efficient.

Does you company do energy management now? I would get the standard read and mark all the shalls and determine the implications on the company. If you are doing energy management you are probably doing most of it. Schneider Electric ( i do not work for them) has a good white paper on it and ISO has guidance documents. There are thousands of dollars to be saved with energy management and it is the gift that keeps on giving. we are not 5001 but i have saved our company well over $500000 US dollars each and every year with what i have done and continue to do.

Hello,
Thanks for all the input you have provided in this forum and other forums at Elsmar. would you be able to provide what was done to get the $500,000 cost savings? A high level overview will do. Thanks Again!

Seriously? I've seen it done and even better by simply installing LED lighting and turning off lights that aren't needed. (They reduced their CO2e emissions as well.

All starts with conservation, lighting, sensors, power factor correction. At the time we started our lighting projects 2010, LED Technology for the shop floor was not where it needed to be. We just started replacing T8s with LED in about 2017 or so as they burnt out. Not counted in that number. Lots of other ways: motors, compressed air, fans, process heating, etc to save kWhs, $$$ and as Randy said reduce you carbon footprint.

Are you focusing your pollution prevention efforts on the processes and products that have significant environmental impacts (both adverse and beneficial)?

Not really, as of present, I would call it low hanging fruit. When doing a project i like to try to combine as many benefits as possible. Make them release $$$$ faster. lighting for example reduces $$$$ outlay, reduces kWh, reduces emissions, improves quality, improves safety, improves morale, etc.
