TY - NEWS TI - Implementation of the ISO 50001 standard to sustainable energy and economic saving the industrial sector AU - Valencia, Guillermo AU - Rodriguez Rodriguez, Katherin AU - Torregroza, Gloria AU - Acevedo Peñaloza, Carlos Humberto AU - Duarte Forero, Jorge AB - Given the growth in energy demand, the limited energy resources, and the high environmental impact of energy generation from fossil fuels, it is vital to find methods to obtain save energy costs in differentsectors, such as residential, industrial,transportation sector, and domestic. This paper presents a methodology that allows the implementation of an energy management system following the guidelines of the ISO 50001 standard. Agap analysis was performed to determine the position of the organization with respect to the requirements ofthe standard,andthe next step was the inspection of the plant to find opportunities for improvement that would lead to energy optimization. From the results, six equipmentwasthe cause of the 82% of the energy consumption in the production process, and some recommendation was proposed with the aim to optimize energy consumption. A methodology is proposed for the standard implementation, which can be implemented by different organizations from different fields to achievesavings in energy costs in the plant.Some relevant actions to improve the energy performance of the plant were proposed, such as the optimization of the compressed airsystem,the reduction ofpotential numbers of leakage, and the reduction ofthe working pressure of the system.
