ISO 50001 certification in Durban at a glance

Greenhouses, cold stores and cargo sheds run on constant loads, so energy is a controllable cost in Dube TradePort. The corporation says part of the energy used in its AgriZone greenhouses comes from renewable sources, operates a solar array there and plans a waste-to-energy plant. ISO 50001 is the management system behind such efforts: an energy review that finds the significant uses, a baseline, performance indicators, objectives, operational controls and management review. It suits the zone's growers and cold-store operators, manufacturers in the TradeZone and port-side warehouses. Sterling's Johannesburg office builds the system with your engineers and prepares the audit by an accredited certification body.

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 Durban: questions clients ask

How would ISO 50001 fit a Dube AgriZone greenhouse operator?

The zone reports renewable energy use in its greenhouses; ISO 50001 would let an operator show energy performance across heating, cooling, lighting and pumping against a baseline. It identifies the significant energy uses, sets targets and tracks results, so savings from solar or efficiency work can be evidenced to customers and lenders.

Does ISO 50001 matter for Durban cold stores?

Yes, because refrigeration is a large and continuous load. The standard starts with an energy review to find where kilowatt-hours go, then sets indicators, targets and operating controls. Cold-store operators use it to cut cost and to answer customers who ask about the energy footprint of the chain.
