ISO 50001 Overview

Energy Is Neither Created Nor Destroyed To scientists, "conservation of energy does not mean saving energy. Instead, the law of conservation of energy says that energy is neither created nor destroyed. When we use energy, it doesn't disappear. We change it from one form of energy into another. Converting One Form of Energy Into Another

"Energy efficiency" is the amount of useful energy you get from any type of system. A perfectly energy-efficient machine would change all the energy put in it into useful work. In reality, converting one form of energy into another form always involves a loss of useable energy.

ISO 50001 Overview

In fact, most energy transformations are not very efficient. The human body is a good example. Your body is like a machine, and the fuel for your machine is food. Food gives you the energy to move, breathe, and think. But your body isn't very efficient at converting food into useful work. Your body is less than 5% efficient most of the time. The rest of the energy is lost as heat.

For instance, a coal-fired power plant involves these power transfers: a) b) c) d) Chemical energy in the coal converted to thermal energy Thermal energy converted to kinetic energy in steam Kinetic energy converted to mechanical energy in the turbine Mechanical energy of the turbine converted to electrical energy, which is the ultimate output. In such a system, the last step is almost perfectly efficient, the first and second steps are fairly efficient, but the third step is relatively inefficient. The most efficient gas-fired electrical power stations can achieve 50% conversion efficiency. Oil and coal fired stations achieve less.

Turn it off at night
Studies have shown that 30% of office workers leave their computers on at night. Turning off your computers and monitors every night can save $75.00 per year per computer. If you have difficulty getting coworkers to cooperate, provide reminders such as putting up posters, including reminders in newsletters and sending group e-mails. Enabling a computers power management features enables the computer to power down to about 15% of its full power after a designated period of nonuse, usually 10 - 20 minutes.

Turn copiers and printers off at night and on weekends. Even in the sleep mode these devices burn 30 to 40 watts of electricity. Instead of relying on the last one to leave the office turning it off, consider installing a low-cost plug-in 7-day timer that can be easily overridden to automatically shut off printers at night and on weekends.

For copy machines, refer to the Users Manual or ask your service technician to determine if the Power Management features are enabled. The Users Manual should provide the necessary instructions. Check the period of delay for activating energy-saver mode or automatic shut-off.
For printers, refer to the Users manual or ask your service technician to check if your printers Power Management features are enabled. Start-up delays from recovery from sleep mode should be minimal.

Make sure the last person out of the office is instructed to turn off all of the lights. If you are working late, use task and individual office lights and turn off the remainder of the office lights.
A major source of heat gain and cooling load for a building is the sun. In the summer, close your blinds or shades to keep the heat out during the hours the sun is on your side of the building. For each degree you raise the cooling thermostat setting, up to 5% of cooling costs can be saved. Setting the thermostat at 74 instead of 68 degrees will save 30% on cooling costs.

Say Goodbye to Screen Savers
While they might be fun or pretty to look at, screen savers don't save energy; they require full power from your monitor and the same amount of energy from your computer as when you're working away on a spreadsheet. Shut down the PC before you head home for the night.

Go Paperless
Before you print an e-mail or document, stop and think: Do I really need a hard copy of this? How long will I keep it? Can I instead save this in an easy-to-find spot on my computer? Make sure that recycle bins are available and conveniently placed for employees to dispose of junk mail, envelopes, faxes and other paper waste. Invest in paper with a high percentage of post-consumer recycled content, and be sure to refill old ink cartridges instead of tossing them. Finally, if your printers are capable of printing double-sided, set them up to do so.

Lock the Thermostat

Stop the thermostat struggle; agree as a company on a comfortable average temperature for each season and maintain that temperature, even if you have to lock the control.

Benefits of Energy Management

Saving energy helps protect the environment. Every 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity saved reduces the amount of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) from entering the atmosphere by 1,000 pounds per year. It has a dramatic effect on your companys bottom line. For every extra dollar your company spends on energy costs, your company needs to generate $10.00 worth of revenue (assuming your company operates on a 10% profit margin). It saves our non-renewable resources for future generations. The majority of the energy we use in this country comes from non-renewable sources such as petroleum, coal and natural gas. It will help us reduce the amount we pay for electricity and natural gas.

Tips to save money and ENVIRONMENT

One of the biggest energy saving tips is to accelerate and brake your vehicle gently. Quick starts and stops can decrease mileage by up to 12 percent. Anticipate stops whenever you can. Letting your car coast to a stop is a good way to improve your gas mileage. An automatic transmission runs better with gradual acceleration. Relax on the highway and enjoy the trip. Driving aggressively can lower your car's gas mileage by 33 percent. Avoid rush hour traffic if you can. Not only is stop-and-go traffic stressful and annoying, it's bad for your car's gas mileage.

Use the cruise control whenever possible. It saves fuel by keeping your vehicle at a steady speed.
One of the simplest ways to save energy is to keep your tires properly inflated. If your car doesn't "ping," it's probably all right to use regular or medium unleaded gasoline. You'll save money by not using premium unleaded gas. Using your car's air conditioner decreases gas mileage by as much as 20 percent.

When you first get into a hot car, cool it down the old fashioned way - roll down the windows, open the vents and peel back the sunroof. Then, start the car and turn on the air conditioning.

At low speeds, it's effective to open a window to stay cool. At highway speeds, modern cars are more fuel efficient with the air conditioning on than with it off and the windows down.
Looking for other ways to save energy on the road? Turn off your car engine if you stop for more than 30 seconds because restarting uses less gasoline. Speeding is a very expensive and wasteful habit. Driving fast may get you there quicker - but you're wasting precious fossil fuel and spending more time and money at the gas pump. Reducing your speed is one of the simplest ways to save energy on the road. The EPA says that for every one mile-per-hour that you drive above 90kmph, a vehicle loses about one percent in fuel economy.

A passenger car getting 12.75 km/l at 90 km/h, gets only 11.5 km/l at 105 km/h; 10.75 km/l at 113 km/l.
Driving 120 km/h instead of 105 km/h lowers your car's fuel economy by 10 percent.

Driving 113 km/h instead of 90 km/h reduces your car's fuel economy by 17 percent.
Follow your owner's manual recommendation on the type of oil to use under specific conditions. The choice you make in engine oil can effect energy efficiency and reduce fuel economy. A GPS system will save fuel if you travel to a lot of new, unfamiliar destinations. Remember to turn it off when not in use to reduce energy consumption.
