EMS requirements according to
EN ISO 50001:2011
BACS for EMS in buildings
a) the importance of conformity with the energy
policy, procedures and with the requirements of
the EMS;
b) their roles, responsibilities and authorities in
achieving the requirements of the EMS;
c) the benefits of improved energy performance;
d) the impact, actual or potential, with respect to
energy use and consumption, of their activities
and how their activities and behaviour contribute
to the achievement of energy objectives and
targets, and the potential consequences of
departure from specified procedures.
Operation and maintenance procedures
Adjustment and optimization procedures.
Continuous performance reviews
Etc.
The appropriate balance of education, training,
experience, etc. to archive and maintain the
BACS-specific requirements and its further
development concerning awareness, knowledge,
understanding and skills.
Review of BACS training program to guarantee
that the persons responsible for BACS have the
necessary competence for its tasks to support
EMS and to improve the energy efficiency in
buildings.
3.3 4.5.3 Communication
The organization shall communicate internally
with regard to its energy performance and EMS,
such as
appropriate to the size of the organization.
The organization shall establish and implement a
process by which any person working for, or on
behalf of, the organization can make comments
or suggest improvements to the EMS.
The organization shall decide whether to
communicate externally about its energy policy,
EMS and energy performance, and shall
document its decision. If the decision is to
communicate externally, the organization shall
establish and implement a method for this
external communication.
The organization considers BACS options to
achieve and maintain EMS communication
requirements for buildings.
As a consequence, the organization specifies:
Whether to communicate the relevant data on
energy performance aspects, costs, savings etc.
for buildings.
Preparation of data (anonymization,
standardizing, benchmarking).
Rules governing the flow of information of the
relevant data at all levels within the internal
organization.
Rules governing the flow of relevant information
to external person, organization, etc. if the
decision is made to communicate externally.
3.4 5.4.4 Documentation
3.4.1 5.4.4.1 Documentation requirements
The organization shall establish, implement and
maintain information, in paper, electronic or any
other medium, to describe the core elements of
the EMS and their interaction.
The EMS documentation shall include:
a) the scope and boundaries of the EMS;
b) the energy policy;
c) the energy objectives, targets, and action
plans;
d) the documents, including records, required by
this International Standard;
e) other documents determined by the
organization to be necessary.
NOTE The degree of documentation can vary for
different organizations for the following reasons:
- the scale of the organization and type of
activities;
The organization considers BACS support
options to achieve and maintain the
documentation requirements of EMS for
buildings.
As a consequence, the organization specifies:
Development of BACS as the building's
documentation system for EMS.
Automated logging, archiving, storage,
protection, and proof of all relevant, building
operational data.
Energy performance data (e.g.: key performance
indicators – KPI; energy performance indicators -
EPI = kWh/ m2, etc.),
Evaluation period, frequency of measurements,
plausibility check, reproducibility, replacement
value, change management.
