In short

ISO 50001 certification in Geelong at a glance

Energy is one of Geelong's defining industries and one of its biggest costs. Viva Energy's refinery processes crude into petrol, diesel, LPG, jet fuel and bitumen, and the businesses that serve it and the port use energy at scale. At Deakin's Waurn Ponds campus the Geelong Future Economy Precinct lists energy and sustainability among its sectors, so some tenants sell the very technology that others need to adopt. ISO 50001 is the management system that joins the two: an energy review to find significant uses, baselines and performance indicators, objectives with action plans, operational control, internal audit and management review. Sterling's Sydney office runs the review with your engineers, helps put metering and records in place and prepares the system for an accredited certification body's audit.

Local drivers

What drives ISO 50001 in Geelong

Demand is buyer-led: ISO 50001 is asked for in customer, principal or tender terms rather than by a Geelong council or precinct rule. Energy cost and emissions reporting, not a local rule, are the usual reasons.

Requirements

What ISO 50001 requires

Strip away the vocabulary and ISO 50001 requires a company to prove six things about how it manages and improves energy performance.

You know where the energy goesAn energy review shows how energy is used and consumed and identifies the areas of significant energy use.
Baselines and indicators are setEnergy performance is measured against a baseline using indicators that suit your operations.
Leadership commits to improvementTop management sets an energy policy, objectives and targets, and appoints a team with authority to act.
Significant uses are controlledOperation, maintenance and design affecting significant energy uses follow defined criteria, and energy is considered in purchasing.
Data is collected and checkedEnergy data is planned, measured and analysed so that improvement can be demonstrated rather than assumed.
Performance actually improvesAction plans are delivered, results are evaluated, and the system is audited and reviewed so energy performance keeps improving.

ISO 50001 in Geelong: questions clients ask

Why does Geelong have a strong case for ISO 50001?

The refinery and the industries around it are large energy users, and the Geelong Future Economy Precinct lists energy and sustainability among its sectors. ISO 50001 lets such sites review significant energy uses, set baselines and prove improvement. It is voluntary, and cost or customer pressure is the usual driver.

What does an ISO 50001 energy review look at in a Geelong manufacturer?

Energy sources and major uses such as furnaces, compressors, cooling, process heat and lighting, then metering and baseline periods. The review identifies the few uses that account for most consumption and the improvements worth pursuing. Poor metering is common and often the first thing to fix.
