The “ISO 50001 Analyzer” software is intended to mainly assist small and medium sized industries in implementing ISO 50001. It can be used by energy manager of an organization or by consultants working as energy managers to introduce ISO 50001 and hence help them identify resources that would be required to implement an energy management system.
The software is designed to take manual inputs from the user and check if requirements as mentioned in the standard are fulfilled. The software also has a database in it which stores all the necessary documents and records created by the organization. This software is linked to the Energy Performance Indicator (EnPI) tool created by the Georgia Tech Research Corporation which helps industries perform regression analysis to create a baseline for each utility. It is very important to use this software as a tool and not as a replacement for the standard itself. It is required that the user have a fair energy background and a minimal understanding of the terms and requirements of the ISO 50001 system to effectively use this software.
