50001 Ready Implementation Cohort

Three sites from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and two sites from the Federal Bureau of Investigation participated in the inaugural 50001 Ready training cohort conducted 100% virtually. 50001 Ready offers self-paced, no-cost guidance for implementing an energy management system that aligns to the globally accepted ISO 50001 energy management system standard. An energy management system works by connecting the people and technologies impacting a sites’ energy performance for a more holistic approach to energy management.

Participants attended 15 hours of cohort-led training that was spread out over a 4-month period to learn the nuts and bolts of implementing an energy management program using DOE’s publicly available tools, training, and resources. Interactive exercises throughout the classes broke down the key principles of ISO 50001 into actionable steps to support the development of a comprehensive energy management program.

During each training session, the group shared their experiences with previous energy management efforts and consulted with peers on new ways to approach identified challenges. These sessions provided participants with the opportunity to examine solutions through the lens of an energy management structure, then integrate them into an energy management system tailored to their facility’s needs. For example, during one of these sessions, participants evaluated their current approach to energy performance savings contracts and how these activities might be modified to align to the Department’s energy management goals and ways to educate contractors to further support these efforts.

“The DOE-organized ISO 50001 Ready cohort training was extremely helpful. The methodical walk-through of how to address each playbook task, use the on-line tools, and access the help desk provided a framework for the systematic completion of the 50001-Ready process. The 50001 Ready Navigator gave us a clear path forward to implement the structural energy management program at our sites.”
