Using Industry's Own Words to Evaluate ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems Adoption
- Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. (LBNL), Berkeley, CA (United States)
A growing body of research is starting to qualitatively and quantitatively reveal the drivers, benefits, and challenges of implementing an ISO 50001 energy management system (EnMS). To date, a few surveys of ISO 50001-compliant firms, mostly in Europe, have been conducted. An as yet unused data source springs from the annual Energy Management Leadership Awards, held by the Clean Energy Ministerial. Launched in 2016, this international awards program requires ISO 50001 certified organizations to develop a case study describing their implementation experience, using a uniform template. This report analyzes these case studies from 2016 and 2017 using the method of content analysis, a well-established practice widely used in the social sciences to examine qualitative information.
