Academic Year: 2015/2016
Departments Names: Industrial Engineering & Energy Engineering and Environment
Project’s Summary:
Problem Statement:
The high energy bills and fuel requirements have always been a major concern for every organization. Demand on energy is continuously increasing while resources are limited. In order to overcome this problem, Energy Management Systems (EnMS) were improved through the standards of ISO 50001:2011 in Energy Management which is issued by the International Organization for Standardization ISO.
Energy Management considers reducing the release of CO2 and Greenhouse gases by limiting and reducing the needed energy in any institution. These gases are known to be the main reason of global warming. Since ISO 50001:2011 is related to energy management, implementing its standards can greatly affect the global warming positively if conducted on a large scale and can also benefit the involved facility, the country, and the whole world.
ISO 50001:2011 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an energy management system, that aims to enable organizations to follow a systematic approach in achieving continual improvement of energy performance, including energy efficiency, energy use and consumption. Many parameters are involved in the conduction of standardization process. These parameters include measurements, documentation, reporting, designing, procurement practices for equipment and systems, processes and personnel and others. All of these contribute to develop energy performance. The parameters can vary, change or be influenced by the organization.
Project Description
Our project aims to prepare Specialized Arab Hospital -Nablus to comply with the requirements of the ISO 50001:2011, where we aspire to apply Energy Management System (EnMS) through implementing the standard.
Main objective:
• Minimize energy bill by reducing consumption.
• Maximize efficiency.
• Develop a continual improvement cycle.
Methodology :
1. Literature review and data collection.
2. Data summarizing in useful information.
3. Understanding ISO 50001:2011 standard and its requirements.
4. Selection of suitable practices in Energy Management System (EnMS) to be implemented (Gap analysis).
5. Implementing ISO 50001:2011 standards for the selected institute.
6. Supervising the whole process.
7. Periodic reporting
