ISO 50001 Training Program

What is ISO 50001?• An international framework for industrial plants or

companies to manage energy, including all aspects of procurement and use.

• Provides organizations and companies with technical and management strategies to increase energy efficiency, reduce costs, and improve environmental performance.

• Demonstrates that the organization implemented sustainable energy management systems, completed a baseline of energy use, and committed to continuously improve their energy intensity

What is ISO 50001?

Grant Commitment1. Develop 2 training programs to assist organizations with ISO 50001

Registration:1. Understanding ISO 500012. Internal Auditing and pre-registration auditing for ISO 50001

2. Partner with MTU Onsite Energy in Mankato and train 12 employees in the above programs. Participants will receive a certificate of completion for auditing skill.

3. Collect and use feedback from the employees to assess and improve the ISO 50001 registration and auditing training.

4. Develop training materials, including participant manuals and trainer manuals, and deliver these materials to DOL.

Progress• The final standard is still not released, and is currently six months

behind the expected release date.

• However, the final draft copy of the standard is available, so we are beginning to develop the training materials.

• We are seeking out other sources for development and input on materials rather than utilizing ANSI as originally planned. We are concentrating on resources available in Minnesota.

• We feel we can still meet the training timeline from the grant application and develop a better training product with Minnesota resources and partners.
