The Scorecard defines the credits and associated points for improvements in energy performance and implementing actions, processes, procedures, or advanced technologies beyond the requirements for ISO 50001 and SEP 50001.  Credit categories include energy performance improvement; energy management system; certification, partnership, and reporting; advanced technologies; and advanced energy supply.

Qualify for SEP 50001 Silver, Gold, or Platinum:

1

Use Scorecard

  • Use the SEP 50001 Scorecard and Declaration while implementing SEP 50001 (2019).
    • Some credits require additional documents when submitting the Declaration, so compile these materials along the way, i.e., “OS 6: Share SEP 50001 Experience and Data” and “CR 3: Promotion of ISO 50001.”
2

Confirm accuracy of Scorecard Declaration

  • Engage a 50001 CP EnMS (who has completed the SEP 50001 Specialist Training for 2019) to review and confirm the accuracy of the Declaration by entering his or her name, title, email, and phone number on the Declaration.
    • If this 50001 CP EnMS wasn’t involved with implementing ISO 50001, then an onsite review by this CP EnMS is required.  
    • The 50001 CP EnMS can be a staff member within your organization or an external consultant. (Find a 50001 CP EnMS (select "CPEnMS" for "Certification Type", and then click the Search button). Qualified individuals must have both the SEP 50001 (2019) program competency and one of the following certifications: 50001 CP EnMS or CP EnMS – Industrial.)
  • Engage top management to review the Declaration and confirm its accuracy by entering his or her name, title, email, and phone number on the Declaration.
