GB/T 15587-2023Energy management systems - Guidelines for a phased implementation (English PDF)

0.1 General

Because of the clear potential to improve energy performance, reduce energy costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, all types of organizations, especially

Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, it is very important to implement energy management.

This document is intended to facilitate organizations, with appropriate efforts, to initiate and improve energy management through a systematic approach, taking into account their resource and environmental circumstances.

management practices to continuously promote energy performance improvements.

This document provides practical guidance for organizations to implement an energy management system step by step, for example using the organization's own capabilities. Energy management system operation

After implementation, it can be continued to be improved until it meets the requirements of the GB/T 23331 standard. Plan the step-by-step implementation of the energy management system to maximize

Minimize costs, avoid unnecessary work, and overcome implementation barriers faced by organizations with limited resources, such as small and medium-sized enterprises.

This document uses 12 core elements to explain the phased implementation of the energy management system based on GB/T 23331-2020.

This method provides an overview of the content of each element and describes four different maturity levels for each element. of this document

Appendix A provides best practices for using a step-by-step approach to continuously improve the energy management system. Organizations can select appropriate tools from best practices and find

To achieve the expected maturity of the energy management system in an effective and efficient manner. Elements and their corresponding maturity level goals depend on the organization's

goals and strategic direction. The energy management system can be integrated with other management systems and promote each other through a shared system structure.

In this document, both the definitions of "energy performance improvement" (see GB/T 23331-2020 for its definition) and "energy saving" are used. In this

The concept of "energy performance improvement" in the document covers the concept of "energy saving".

0.2 Advantages of phased implementation

Organizations may face challenges in successfully implementing an energy management system due to limited resources (such as knowledge and personnel capabilities). organize

The benefits of a phased implementation of an energy management system are numerous. The phased implementation described in this document is flexible and allows organizations to.

---Determine the scope and pace of its energy management system implementation based on resources and needs;

---Choose corresponding elements based on goals and maturity;

---Start from areas with high potential for energy performance improvement, high return on investment and no conflict with existing operations;

---Build a positive energy management culture;

---Achieve simple and/or low-cost energy performance improvements and associated energy cost savings, emission reductions and other benefits;

---Achieve initial results to enhance credibility, thereby ensuring commitments are fulfilled and supporting further development of the energy management system;

--- Lay a solid foundation for the existing energy management system to further meet the requirements of GB/T 23331.

4.1 Structure and Description of Maturity Model

Using a maturity model helps organizations assess the effectiveness of their current business processes in order to follow a systematic and orderly approach to implementation

Energy performance improvements. The maturity model that forms the basis of this document consists of 12 core elements of energy management, each with 4 components.

Doneness level.

The elements in this document refer to the chapters of GB/T 23331-2020 or its important provisions, such as. energy review.

The maturity model provides a simplified system framework for implementing and improving an energy management system to make it suitable using a phased approach.

the needs and capabilities of the organization. Maturity models provide guidelines that include specific practices, practices, and processes. First, organizations can use maturity

model to understand its current situation and establish initial improvement goals. Subsequently, the energy management system can be implemented and improved in stages.

As organizations evolve from their respective starting points to the desired energy management system maturity, energy performance improves, such as the ability to reduce

Improved energy efficiency or reduced energy consumption at low energy costs. The 12 elements of the maturity model are described in Chapter 5.for features

For each level, the maturity criteria given by the model describe what needs to be achieved at that level, but do not provide specific "how" to achieve that level.

Implement element guidelines.

Based on an analysis of the current state of energy management practices, organizations can select the appropriate implementation schedule and desired maturity level for each element.

Regardless of the starting point, organizations need to work on each element. The organization may require additional resources (e.g. time, personnel, knowledge,
