ISO50001 Energy Management Case Study

This case study details the implementation of an ISO 50001-compliant Energy Management System by the Greenfield Municipal Corporation to optimize energy consumption across tube wells, fleet management, and street lighting. The initiative aims for a 15% energy reduction over three years, with significant results achieved in 1.5 years, including a total annual cost savings of $450,000 and a reduction of approximately 800 tons of CO2 emissions. Future plans include extending the energy management system to public buildings and integrating solar solutions.

Case Study: ISO 50001-based Energy Management System Implementation

Overview

This case study outlines the implementation of an ISO 50001-compliant Energy Management System (EnMS)

across three major municipal energy-consuming sectors: tube wells, fleet management, and street lighting.

The goal is to optimize energy consumption, reduce carbon footprint, and lower operational costs.

Organization Profile

City: Greenfield Municipal Corporation

Population Served: ~1 million residents

Annual Energy Spend: $3.5 million

Sectors Covered: Water supply (tube wells), transportation (municipal fleet), public lighting (street lights)

Scope of ISO 50001 EnMS

Facilities Covered:

- 120 tube wells

- 85 municipal fleet vehicles

- 15,000 street lights

Energy Types: Electricity, diesel, and CNG

Objective: Implement ISO 50001-compliant EnMS to achieve 15% energy reduction in 3 years

Baseline Assessment

Tube Wells: 2.5 million kWh/year - Over-pumping, old inefficient motors

Fleet Management: 600,000 liters diesel/year - Poor route planning, idling

Street Lighting: 800,000 kWh/year - Outdated lamps, 24/7 operation without dimming
Case Study: ISO 50001-based Energy Management System Implementation

Energy Planning and Objectives

Tube Wells: 10% energy reduction in 12 months

Fleet Management: 20% fuel savings in 24 months

Street Lighting: 30% energy savings in 18 months

Actions Taken

Tube Wells:

- Installed smart meters

- SCADA-based monitoring

- Scheduled pumping during off-peak hours

- Replaced motors with IE3 models

Fleet Management:

- GPS tracking

- Driver training

- Replaced 20 diesel vehicles with CNG hybrids

Street Lighting:

- 10,000 LED replacements

- IoT dimming controls

- Zone-wise scheduling

Performance Monitoring & KPIs

KPIs:
Case Study: ISO 50001-based Energy Management System Implementation

- kWh/m³ for water pumped

- km/liter for fleet vehicles

- kWh/street light/month

Monthly tracking and year-over-year comparisons done.

Results After 1.5 Years

Tube Wells: 16% reduction (2.5M to 2.1M kWh)

Fleet: 15% fuel savings (600k to 510k liters)

Street Lighting: 37.5% reduction (800k to 500k kWh)

Total Annual Cost Savings: $450,000

GHG Reduction: ~800 tons CO2e/year

Compliance and Continuous Improvement

Quarterly internal audits and management reviews

Staff trained in ISO 50001 practices

Energy efficiency integrated into procurement

Key Learnings

- Cross-department collaboration is essential

- Smart technologies improve control

- Data monitoring enables faster correction

Future Plans

- Extend EnMS to public buildings and parks


Case Study: ISO 50001-based Energy Management System Implementation

- Solar integration in lighting

- Align with ISO 14001 environmental standards
