50001 Ready Cohorts: Energy Management Technical Assistance

The 50001 Ready program provides free technical assistance to groups (cohorts) of energy team members of U.S.-based industrial, commercial, and institutional sites as they implement a robust energy management system based on the global ISO 50001 energy management system standard.

50001 Ready Cohorts

Each cohort, consisting of either one or multiple organizations, will be tailored to meet the needs of participating sites. Over the course of the cohort program, you and your cohort will receive free training using DOE developed resources to support your organization as you pursue your energy management path.

How To Join and Learn More:

50001 Ready’s free technical assistance is open to US-based industrial, commercial, and government sites who are not engaged in another publicly-provided energy management program (e.g. utility SEM program).

To join, site leadership commits staff and resources to complete the program and implement an ISO 50001-based energy management system, and then pursue 50001 Ready recognition for the site.

Please send an email to the Help Desk, 50001Ready@lbl.gov, to arrange a call to share more information about your site, hear more about the technical assistance being offered, and learn how to join.
