NQA certification to ISO 50001 has enabled Northern Rail

to meet ESOS scheme requirements why? And what

additional benefits does certification provide.

Northern Rail – What are we?

Northern Rail – What are we?

Northern Rail and ESOS

• Large enterprises are defined within

DECC's consultation as enterprises

employing more than 250 people and

which have an annual turnover

exceeding EUR 50 million (nearly £43

million), and/or an annual balance sheet

total exceeding EUR 43 million (nearly

£37 million).

In accordance with the EU Energy Efficiency Directive,

‘large enterprises’ will be required to conduct energy

audits every four years, with the first occurring by 5

December 2015.

• The audits will cover

transport, buildings and

industrial operations.

ESOS Assessment vs ISO 50001

Energy Planning Section 4.4

• A review is required of the

total energy use and energy

efficiency of the organisation

covering key buildings, key

industrial operations and key

transport activities.

• This would include the

organisation identifying and

measuring an energy intensity

ratio.

4.4.3 Energy review

The organization shall develop, record, and

maintain an energy review.

Based on the analysis of energy use and

consumption, identify the areas of significant

energy use, i.e. identify the facilities, equipment,

systems, processes and personnel working for, or

on behalf of, the organization that significantly

affect energy use and consumption;

4.4.5 Energy performance indicators

The organization shall identify EnPIs appropriate

for monitoring and measuring its energy

performance. The methodology for determining

and updating the EnPIs shall be recorded and

regularly reviewed.

ESOS Assessment vs ISO 50001

Energy Planning Section 4.4

• The review would need to be

proportionate and sufficiently

representative ‘to permit the drawing

of a reliable picture of overall energy

performance’ of the organisation and

clear information on potential

savings, which identify and quantify

cost-effective energy savings

opportunities.

4.4.4 Energy baseline

The organization shall establish an

energy baseline(s) using the

information in the initial energy

review, considering a data period

suitable to the organization's

energy use and consumption.

Changes in energy

performance shall be measured

against the energy baseline(s).

ESOS Data Collection vs ISO 50001

Checking Section 4.6

• Organisations within the

scheme’s scope will need to

identify an approved ESOS

assessor (either an in-house

expert or an external consultant)

to conduct the assessment,

gather data on energy usage at

an appropriate level of detail, and

undertake the assessment by

December 2015, renewing the

assessment at least every four

years thereafter.

4.2.2 Management representative

Top management shall appoint a

management representative(s) with

appropriate skills and competence.

4.6 Checking

The organization shall ensure that the

key characteristics of its operations that

determine energy performance are

monitored, measured and analysed at

planned intervals.

ESOS Data Collection vs ISO 50001

Checking Section 4.6

• In practice, ESOS assessments

are intended to recommend

cost-effective measures to save

organisations energy and

money. These might include, for

example, advice on updating

lighting systems, taking steps to

encourage staff to adopt more

energy efficient behaviour, or (if

cost-effective) replacing

elements of a transport fleet.

4.6.3 Internal audit of the EnMS

The organization shall conduct internal

audits at planned intervals.
