LITERATURE REVIEW
A. What is ISO50001?
ISO50001 is a standard designed to manage energy
across the entire international commercial sector, affecting
energy use, which can be monitored and influenced by an
organization [9]. The purpose of ISO50001 Energy
Management System (EnMS) standard is to enable
organizations to establish the systems and processes
necessary to improve energy performance, including energy
efficiency, use and consumption. The implementation of this
International Standard intend to reduce in greenhouse gas
emissions and other related environmental impacts and
energy cost through systematic management of energy [10].
The EnMS implementation model also applies Plan-DoCheck-Act (PDCA) cycle which consists of five clauses i.e.
Energy Policy, Planning, Implementation, Monitoring and
Corrective Action and Management Review [9].
B. Why ISO50001?
An ISO50001 energy management system (EnMS) is
applicable to all the activities under the organizational
control. This would enable organization to achieve its policy
commitments, take action as needed to improve its energy
performance and demonstrate the conformity of the system
to the requirements of the International Standard [11]. It is
also an instrument to quantify the energy use and
consumption, and to plan energy efficient practices by finetuning the operational controls and organizational behavior.
Optimal energy performance should be achieved using
existing resources, with minimum or low cost investment,
through the housekeeping efforts prior to suggesting
improvement that require financial investments [3].
III. METHODOLOGY
This study used qualitative approach with single case
study as research strategy. Data was collected via Participant
Observation where the researcher takes part in the activities
that is being described [16]. The researcher assumed the role
as the trainee consultant appointed by UNIDO. The selection
of the copper manufacturer was based on convenience
sampling. Convenience sampling is very useful for
exploratory information needed for this study. Since
companies who involved in the EnMS are limited,
quantitative methods are not appropriate [16].
This case study was done as an implementation of
ISO50001 EnMS as described in the Introduction section.
To
evident
the
implementation
activities,
the
communications, analysis and results were recorded in
EnMS Tool.The EnMS Tool is an Excel workbook
developed by the UNIDO International Experts and adapted
from the tool developed by Georgia Tech Research
Corporation and U.S. Department of Energy. The purpose of
this workbook is systematically guided and records the
implementation activities throughout the factory [17].

C. Management Commitment
The Top Management of the company had accepted the
idea of EnMS and expects improvements with enthusiasm.
This eagerness is mainly in observing the saving potential of
25% to 50% which is claimed as achievable through good
housekeeping practices [17]. Due to 98% of energy being
used in its operation is electrical energy, the top
management delimit the scope and boundary of EnMS
implementation to electrical energy saving and consumption
at the copper manufacturing factory.
B. Self-assessment of EnMS
In order to guide the planning of EnMS, self-assessment
was performed. Questions were prompted to the Facilities
Department. Table 1 shows the result of self-assessment. It
was found that although the management is concerned and
committed about the energy cost reduction, there is no
energy management system approaches that have been
adopted by the factory.
D. Planning of EnMS
Based on the self-assessment result, Energy review was
performed. From the review, electricity was found to be the
most significant energy source used by the company (i.e.
98% of the energy usage). Thus, the electricity bills from
Jan-2010 to Jul-2012 were compiled to observe trend of
usage.

Questions
Is the top management committed to energy cost
reduction?
Is there an approved energy policy in place?
Have roles, responsibility and authority been identified
for all persons having an influence on significant
energy use and is this documented?
Have the significant energy uses been quantified and
documented?
Has a baseline of energy performance been established
against which progress can be measured?
Have indicator(s) or metrics been identified to use in
measuring progress against your baseline?
Have the organizations energy objectives and targets
been identified and documented?
Have energy action plans been established?
Is the energy management system evaluated at least
once a year and are improvements made based on the
results of the evaluation.

Note:
a) if the p-value is less than 0.10, there is less than a 10% chance that
the X and Y pair are not correlated. Therefore, the likelihood that
these variables are correlated is very high; considered a statistically
significant relationship.
b) The higher the R-squared, the better the model fits your data.

E. Implementation of EnMS
With the results from activities of self-assessment,
management commitment, trend analysis and regression
analysis, the company began to implement the EnMS
through the identified Energy Conservation Opportunities
(ECOs) and set the Energy Objectives and Targets settings
and Action Plans.
