Abstract-Environment and energy management tools and
techniques are getting immense importance to control the
global impact of rising energy demands and adverse climate
effects. The addition of Energy Management System (EnMS)
on the global horizon is another step towards sustainability.
The current study is focused on the energy saving potential
and technical challenges faced by a small-medium
organization (KSB Pumps) in order to implement the energy
management system ISO 50001:2011. To minimize the
implementation efforts, status evaluation of a currently
implemented environmental management system of the
organization is performed. Subsequently mandatory
requirements of the EnMS ISO 50001:2011 standard are
fulfilled. Four key areas of the organization are identified
including compressor shop, machine shop, foundry, and
lighting. Then EnMS ISO 50001:2011 standard is
implemented by using suitable Energy Performance
Indicators (EnPIs) grading criteria. Complete energy audit
plans are implemented for each area and the management
plans are proposed accordingly. The results of the
implementation clearly indicated a positive trend towards
improved energy performance. The resulted improvement in
the energy performance is 7%, 8%, and 14% based on three
months implementation comparison of years 2012-13.
1. I. INTRODUCTION
The rising cost of energy in industrial processes, the
growing concern over the shortage of energy resources and
the significant increase in greenhouse gases (GHG)
emissions has encouraged the organizations to implement
the best practices and international standards on energy,
such as ISO 50001. Through such standards, the companies
can improve their processes in terms of energy
performance and efficiency.
Over the past century, earth`s surface has witnessed an
average variation in temperature of 0.6±.0.2˚C with
warmest being the latter half of 1990`s [i]. This variation in
climate change does seem significantly bleak but still it
contributes to dramatic effects and subsequently adverse
impacts on human life. In 1992 the Climate Change
Framework Convention of United Nations [ii] and in 1997
the Kyoto Protocol [iii] defined targets to reduce
greenhouse gases for countries. The Carbon Reduction
72
Vol. 20(SI) No.II(S)-2015
Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme imposes
improvement in energy efficiency [iv]. The development of
EnMS represents a “proactive”, systematic and logical
approach to address the problem of energy efficiency rather
than the “reactive”, piecemeal activities prevalent up till
now. ISO 50001 [v] is compatible with other recognized
management system standards.
The number of organizations worldwide claiming to be
the first in their country or sector to have adopted the new
ISO International Standard on energy management, ISO
50001:2011 is an evidence of its keen anticipation. Energy
management systems, could result about 60 % of the
world’s energy use on a positive note with increased
energy efficiency, improved energy performance and
reduced costs [vi]. Many companies are implementing ISO
50001 and gaining reduction in carbon emissions, energy
costs and power consumption benefiting communities,
environment and manufacturing plants. Dongguan factory
of Delta Electronics in China has confirmed the
achievement of ISO 50001 certification. Additionally, the
power consumption was reduced to 23.97 thousand
kWh/million USD that is about 34 % compared to 70.5
thousand kWh/million USD in 2008 [vii]. Schneider
Electric, a global energy management specialist achieved
certification of ISO 50001 for its head office. The CEO
commented that all the facilities of Schneider electric
around the globe are in process of certification due to its
resemblance to EN 16001 and compatibility with ISO
140001[viii] which is already implemented in most of the
facilities [ix]. Another company, Reliance Infrastructure
Limited operates Dahanu Thermal Power Station in
Maharashtra, India. The plant is also certified with
standards like ISO 9001 and ISO 140001. Reliance
infrastructure limited has been investing heavily on energy
conservation since early 2010[x]. A target of around 30000
tons is set by AU Optronics in terms of reduced carbon
emissions and up to 55 million kWh of electricity is set in
terms of energy conservation which is most likely to be
achieved in 2014 [xi]. A 2400 inhabitant community of
Bad Eisankappel in Austria adopted the framework of ISO
50001.The installation of solar thermal units over the
 Technical Journal, University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Taxila, Pakistan
buildings will increase the energy performance of the
buildings and add to the aesthetics appearance of the
structure [xii].
2. II. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Energy Policy, being the most important aspect of
Energy Management System, plays a pivotal role in the
implementation of the standard as described through Fig 1
which states the improvement cycle of energy management
system, and can also be correlated to the Edward Deming`s
plan–do–check–act (PDCA) cycle [xiii]. Energy policy can
be considered as the planning part of the PDCA cycle
(plan, do, check, and act). Energy baseline, energy
performance indicators and operational controls are the
main contributors towards implementation and operation of
the cycle. The aspect of monitoring and measuring is also
addressed in the standards (clause 2.6, checking). Checking
and corrective action along with monitor and measure
shares the check part and contributes towards the audit
aspect of the improvement cycle. The outcome of the
system audit activity contributes towards the improvement
in the energy planning process through management
reviews [xiv]. It is an ongoing activity that delivers
continual improvement.
Fig 1: Continual Improvement Cycle
The following research process has been devised for
proper implementation of energy management system in
the small and medium enterprises (SME) of an industrial
sector:
1. Evaluation of the existing implemented ISO standard or
any other management standard in the underlying case
organization;
2. Development of a checklist tool to assess the current
status against the ISO 50001 EnMS clauses;
3. Gap analysis to determine the critical and weak links
following the estimation from checklists;
4. Deployment of Energy Management Framework (Fig
2);

improvement in energy use;
 Calculate the energy performance indicator by
machine and energy service type;
 Augment the further actions and strategies for
continual improvement;
Fig 2: Energy Management Framework
2.1 Case Study and Utilized Data
2.1.1 Gap Analysis
The checklist consists of questions derived from the
requirements of ISO 50001. Each question involved four
options that can be chosen to satisfy the requirement, such
as not fulfilled ( 0 points) partially fulfilled (0.50 points),
fulfilled (1 point) and not applicable(simply filling the
space with X). The introduction of a field for evidences
and comments helps further investigation regarding each
requirement. The data gathered from the checklist is
narrated in terms of GAP analysis as shown in Fig 3. The
area in green, red and yellow colors shows the percentage
of each clause as fulfilled, partially fulfilled and not
fulfilled by the organization. Afterwards, the importance
for the fulfilled, partially filled and unfulfilled clauses is
highlighted by the help of numbering criteria [xv].
From the Gap analysis stated in Fig 3, it is evident that
the organization has not declared and documented any
specific Energy Policy for their facility. The results
describing the clause 4.3 implementation status in the
Table 1 clearly shows that the already implemented
Environmental Policy recognizes the significance of
sustainable energy use but in reality no documented Energy
Policy is available. In any case the concerned facility has
partially fulfilled the requirement for having an Energy
Policy, which is a matter of interpretation as standard does
 Technical Journal, University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Taxila, Pakistan
not require a separate energy policy rather it integrates with
other policies already implemented. Therefore, a good
practice proposed to KSB pumps is to declare and
document a separate energy policy rather than an integrated
policy.
Fig 3: Gap Analysis of the industry
The analysis of clause 4.4.2 given in Table 2 depicts
that the organization is regularly keeping its legal
obligations up to date through electronic and print media.
Table 1: Evaluation of Energy Policy
Table 2: Evaluation of Legal and other
Requirements
The Gap analysis provided a cursory view of all the
direct and indirect efforts that the organization implied on
their management system [xvi]. The areas of concern
needing more attention are highlighted by the status
analysis. These required areas should be passed from a
rebuilding or evolution phase to be practically acceptable
phase and should be considered a positive step towards
implantation of EnMS.
The status evaluation highlighted that the KSB pumps
has not formulated an Energy Policy for its operations.
After initial meetings with the top management (General
74
Vol. 20(SI) No.II(S)-2015
Manager Production and D.G.M Quality, Health Safety and
Environment), a draft version of Energy Policy was
developed which was provisionally approved by the
management. It was the basic requirement of the system
and was completely missing earlier.
For implementation of ISO 50001 EnMS on KSB
Pumps facility, a series of interrelated activities has been
performed within the scope of its business processes. These
activities and aspects when joined together formed a
framework that was mandatory for the implementation of
EnMS within an organization. On a working level of
operations certain controls are essential including training,
communication, operational control, design and
procurement etc. For implementation of ISO 50001, all
activities and aspects of the framework must be given equal
attention. The sequential mode of activities is illustrated in
Fig 2. According to that, inputs to energy review activity
demand the consultation of energy bills, process flow
diagrams, and energy sources etc. The focus of the research
is aimed on the output of this energy framework rather than
the operational activities. That includes the formation of
energy focused training, communication, design and
procurement procedures and their implementation.
2.2 Significant Energy Uses
The review of energy consumption identified some
areas of concern for the organization with significant
energy use such as the foundry and compressors. In Fig 4,
the running load of the organization as per energy
consumption data is illustrated in terms of percent energy
consumption. It is evident that foundry and compressors
are leading energy consumers.
Fig 4: Running Load of KSB
2.3 Energy Performance Indicators (EnPI`s)
As a criterion for energy performance, Energy
Performance Indicator (EnPIs) can be the most effective
and versatile tool to check the processes conformance to
the organizational energy goals and objectives [xvii]. The
energy data acquired form KSB pumps helped to develop
the EnPI for the various departments; like foundry,
machine shop, compressors and lighting. The equations
used in the next section are developed by professional
experience in Energy Performance Indicator`s and Key
 Technical Journal, University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Taxila, Pakistan
Performance Indicator`s has helped in finalizing the given
formulae/equation for the evaluating the energy
performance.
2.3.1 Compressors
The specific parameters include: the overall energy
saving potential of compressors (Ec), the energy
consumption for a specific time period (Quarterly or
monthly as per requirement) (Cc) and the possibility of
renewable energy resource (Rc). Then EnPI is defined in
equation 1 as

( ) ( )
The ranking points of compressor, foundry, machine
shop and lighting are given in Table 3.
Table 3: Ranking points of compressor, foundry, machine
shop and lighting (C represents energy consumption)
The resulting EnPI value is between (0.1- 4.4), 0.1 being
the lowest while 4.4 being the highest band as shown in Fig
5.
2.3.2 Foundry
The specific parameters include the energy
consumption for a specific time period (Quarterly or
monthly as per requirement) ( ), Heat recovery potential
( ), Preventive maintenance factor ( ), and the
possibility of renewable energy resource ( ) as defined in
Equation 2.

The values of Cf and are given in Tables 3 and 4,
respectively.

and 2 being the maximum. Preventive maintenance as per
schedule ≤ 50 % = 1 and preventive maintenance as per
schedule 100 % = 2. The has maximum value equal to 4.
The resulting EnPI(f) value is between (3 - 20), 3 being the
lowest while 20 being the highest band. The band scores
relevant to energy consumption of foundry are shown in
Fig 5.

Vol. 20(SI) No.II(S)-2015
2.3.3 Machine Shop
The specific parameters include; cumulative
over/under sizing of machine shop motors designated as
(∑SM), No of exact sized motors (n), the energy
consumption for a specific time period (Quarterly or
monthly as per requirement)(CM) and the possibility of
renewable energy resource (RM) as defined in Equation 3.

The grading points of CM and ∑ are given in Tables
3 and 5, respectively. Where n is No. of exact sized motors
i.e. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5…). Similarly the grading points for CM are
from 9 – 1; 9 being the maximum and 1 being the
minimum. The grading points for RM are equal to 4. The
resulting EnPI value is between (0.2 -2.6), for a machine
shop consisting of 2 exact sized motors i.e., n=2.
Table 5. Cumulative over/under sizing of
machine shop motors (∑SM) ranking
2.3.4 Lighting
Generally, lighting is one of the aspects that are mostly
taken for granted in most enterprises [xviii]. Different
office blocks and production halls do tend to install
oversized lights and appliances which consume enormous
amount of energy. By operational controls, an enterprise
can track the energy consumption. Switching off the
unnecessary light can make a difference. Installation of
right sized lighting fixtures and utilizing the natural light
can be another option. The specific parameters are given in
Equation 4 that include: cumulative over sizing of lighting
fixtures in offices and production hall (∑Sl), No of exact
sized lighting locations (office or a facility) (n), the energy
consumption for a specific time period (Quarterly or
monthly as per requirement) (Cl), the opportunity for
natural light utilization (Nl) and possibility of renewable
energy resource (Rl).
(∑ )
() ( )
The grading points are same as define previously
in Tables 3, 4, and 5. The band scores relevant to energy
consumption of lighting are shown in Fig 5.

management plans were developed that incorporated Additionally a checklist to maintain motor efficiency,
sequence of activities highlighting significant potential for inspecting motors regularly for wear, dirt/dust, and
improvement at different facilities and areas. checking motor loads for over/under loading will also help.
2.4.1 Energy Management Plans
Compressors efficiency is the key parameter that
dictates its performance. The specific energy management
plan developed for compressors of KSB pumps focused to
reduce energy consumption up to 20% by installing energy
efficient compressors within allotted period. The heat lost
in foundry was focused while developing an energy
management plan of the foundry. The object was to install
a waste heat recovery system in the foundry area that
would reduce energy consumption by 20%. Similarly, to
reduce energy consumption in machine shop it was
proposed that a natural gas generator set had to be installed
within a prescribed period. A target of 30% reduction in
electricity consumption was set for machine shop by
installing gen-set. Finally, energy management plan for
lighting was developed with an objective of reducing high Fig 7: Motor Loading Trend of Machine Shop

3.2 Internal Energy Audit Results
After implementing the proposed energy framework, a
brief site survey or an internal energy audit was conducted
which primarily focused different facilities and equipment
within the organization identified in the energy reviews and
energy performance indicators. An energy audit requires a
full term implementation of usually one year to witness
significant improvement in the system.. Later on the energy
data is reevaluated and compared with the previous year in
terms of energy consumptions.
It has been only few months since the energy
management system is implemented in KSB pumps.
Therefore, the results might not be that significant but still
the commitment or improvement can be seen throughout
the organization.
The focus of this research is the practical aspect of the
implementation not on the theoretical or documentation
side. The aspects relating to operations (training,
procurements, design and communication) and procedural
requirements laid down by the standard have not been
assessed. Numbers of energy saving opportunities were
highlighted relating to individual areas.
4. Check alignment of motor and equipment.
5. Ensure supply wiring and terminal box are
properly sized and installed.
6. Every time a motor is rewound, its efficiency
drops by 2%.
3.2.3 Energy Saving Opportunities in Lighting
Out Door savings
At first energy saving potential for outdoor lighting
was evaluated along with the installed street lights. Details
of energy consumption of streetlights are given in Table 7.
The best practice is to replace the existing lights with
energy efficient LED lights or if the initial investment does
not allow, the installation of energy saver could
significantly improve the energy performance.
Table 7: Cost Analysis of Energy Savings.

3.2.1 Energy Saving Opportunities in

Compressed Air
During the site audit, air leakages were observed at
various locations around the facility. Due to unavailability
of measuring equipment for air leakages, estimation for the
leakage was made. The energy saving opportunity for
compressed air leakage are given in Table 3.
In view of saving potential, following aspects are
recommended.
1. The possibility of down setting the delivery
pressure should be explored by careful study of
pressure requirements of various equipment, and
the pressure drop in the line between the
compressed air generation and utilization points. 1
bar can save 6 -10% energy?
2. Conduct leakage survey once a month.
3. Cleaning point should be locked.
4. Remove the bends, joints, unnecessary line
branches, and diameter changes that result in
pressure drop. A 4 ºC rise in operating
temperature of each component increases 1%
power consumption (use natural ventilation).
3.3 Mid-Term results
3.3.1 Machine Shop
In machine shop, five of exact sized machines out of
20 are available having n=5 and cumulative over/under
sizing of machine shop factor be taken as 2. The average
over/under sizing of machines lies between 50-74% and
Energy Consumption factor for September, October and
November 2013 are 3, 3 and 4 respectively. Fig 8 gives the
details of the results achieved by the machine shop in terms
of EnPI score and energy savings as given in Table 8. After
the completion of energy management objective (increase
in number of exact sized machines/motors) the results for
machine shop`s EnPI will definitely increase significantly
in the future.

3.2.2 Energy Saving Opportunities in Machine Shop

The best practice to save energy in a machine shop is
to switch off the machines during the break (1-hour break
during lunch timings): The energy saving opportunity for
machine shop is given in Table 7.
In view of saving potential, following aspects are
recommended for machine shop.
1. Inspect motors regularly for wear, dirt/dust.
2. Check motor loads for over/under loading. Fig 8: Energy Performance Results of Machine
3. Lubricate appropriately.

Table 8: Machines Energy savings

3.3.2 Foundry
Foundry as the main energy utilizer of the KSB Pumps
also has the largest potential to improve the energy
performance. The EnPI of the foundry has been developed
to emphasize the importance of heat recovery and
maintenance. No points for heat recovery system have been
allotted, as the heat recovery system has not been installed Fig 10: Energy Performance Results of Lighting
since the implementation of this system.. However, there
are plans to introduce such recovery system by April2014. Table 10: Light Energy savings
Fig 9 describes the results of EnPI score for foundry. For
September 2013, the value of energy consumption for a
specific time period (Cf) was taken as 1 due to energy
consumption up to 95.3% compared to the last year and the
value of Preventive maintenance factor (Pmf) was taken as
0 due to the absence of any preventive maintenance in
September 2013. The energy savings are given in Table 9. 3.4 Full-Term Expected Results
The overall savings found in the current work are
shown in Figure 11. The resulted savings are 7%, 8%, and
14% for September, October, and November for 2012 and
2013 respectively. It can be expected that the results of
energy performance would be significant in terms of
achieving baseline results after the completion of full year
in June 2014, as at that time most of the Energy action
plans would have been completed. Additionally the
operational activities such as training of employees, design
activities, procurement, legal requirements and
communications must have casted their positive effects by
then.

Fig 9: Energy Performance Results of Foundry

Table 9: Foundry Energy savings

3.3.3 Lighting System

It is evident from the EnPI results that the organization
has started the conservation of energy by simple methods
i.e. utilizing the maximum day light and sizing of the light
fixtures. Fig 10 describes the EnPI results and energy
savings are given in Table 10. The inclusion of 02 sized
offices or location out of three main areas designated by (n)
has increased the score from 0.7 to 2.7. Also the factor for
natural light utilization gets maximum 4 points.
