Energy management is a management process to meet energy needs. From a wider perspective, energy management is part of a complex of Facility Management activities. Energy management emphasizes the analysis, control and prediction of long-term energy and media consumption. Its essence is continuous monitoring wong with effective correction in the production, transformation and ultimate use of all forms of energy in order to increase the economy of its management. An assumption made for effective energy management is the committed support from the company’s management, and at the same time the motivation of the responsible persons to consistently carry out the related activities.

The benefits of energy management for our customers (municipalities, towns, regions, institutions, companies, etc.) are in particular:

  • Energy cost savings – Typical cost savings are 5-15% of total energy costs, but can reach up to 25%.
  • Waste prevention– Outputs enable more efficient and cost-effective management of these entities, control over contractual relations with energy suppliers, and proven regular control of energy flows.
  • Transparent energy and media financing – processing of documents for tenders for energy suppliers and budgeting.
  • Improved Product Calculation and Financial Planning  – Outputs allow you to quantify the relationship between performance and energy costs, so that you can accurately determine how much energy is input into the unit of production and consequently create a budget plan for energy derived from the amount of planned production.
  • Better preventive maintenance – Data is often useful for preventive maintenance programs.
  • Environmental benefits – As a result of energy savings, carbon dioxide emissions and other air pollution factors are reduced.

The cycle of basic energy management activities is:

  • monitoring (data collection, measurement readings, invoice / responsible personnel check)
  • evaluation (energy balance analysis / sampling / return, simulation)
  • planning (determination of costs, consumption and their progress, austerity measures, outages, repairs)
  • implementation (measures, controls, periodicity of staff monitoring, contract updates, etc.).

Efficient media consumption management

It is also worthwhile to use our offer of the external energy function. This is a competent person who is able to keep energy “under control“, thus contributing to the efficient and energy-saving operation of the building. The difference in energy expenditure can be quite noticeable, even with the slightest change. The performance of an energy facility’s activity can be realized, for example, within the following strategies:

  • management of contracts and relevant documents
  • processing and forwarding of prescribed technical statements to affected parties, according to business conditions and valid legislation of the Czech Republic
  • Annual preparation and negotiation of supply and distribution contracts
  • Planning, evaluating and negotiating media delivery with suppliers
  • performing the main readings and evaluating the actual values ​​with agreed
  • checking vendor invoices
  • Energy management of the operation of the building, according to the declared control levels and in accordance with the regulatory plan
  • Counseling
  • Reporting – Monthly and annual reporting of energy consumption reports and diagrams, statistical, volume and price evaluation, along with optimization measures.
  • Even minor organizational interventions can ultimately lead to energy savings in regards to the percentage of existing consumption. With the conscious renewal or modernization of the existing machinery park, or the installation of technical equipment for buildings in order to reduce energy demand (among other things), the potential for savings is even more pronounced.
The purpose of ISO 50001 is to enable organizations to establish systems and processes necessary for reducing energy consumption, improving energy efficiency, and lowering energy usage. Implementing ISO 50001 is also intended to reduce negative environmental impacts and, consequently, reduce energy costs.
On December 11, 2019, an amendment to Act No. 406/2000 Coll., on Energy Management, was published in the Collection of Laws of the Czech Republic. This amendment imposes an obligation on large enterprises (with more than 250 employees) to conduct an energy audit for their energy management, which must be repeated every four years. Alternatively, this obligation can be fulfilled by implementing and certifying an Energy Management System according to ISO 50001.
Options for fulfilling the legal obligation:
  • Conducting an energy audit every four years;
  • Certification according to ISO 50001 (in this case, an energy audit is not required).
Who is obligated?
  • An entrepreneur who employs 250 or more persons, or has an annual turnover of 1.3 billion CZK, or an annual balance sheet total exceeding 1.1 billion CZK.
  • An entrepreneur whose average annual energy use over the last two consecutive calendar years is higher than 5,000 MWh.

Approximately 2,150 large companies exceed these criteria, including large manufacturing companies, retail chains, and food conglomerates.

Who is not obligated?

  • An entrepreneur whose energy management consumes less than 200 MWh per year.
  • An entrepreneur who has implemented and has a certified energy management system according to ČSN EN ISO 50001 by an accredited body.

Benefits of implementing ISO 50001

  • Cost savings on energy: Typical cost savings range from 5-15% of total energy costs.
  • Waste prevention: Outputs allow for more efficient and economical management of the mentioned entities, including control over contractual relationships with energy suppliers and verifiable regular monitoring of energy flows.
  • Transparent financing of energy and media: Preparation of materials for tenders for energy suppliers and for budget creation.
  • Improved product cost calculation and financial planning: Outputs enable quantification of the relationship between performance and energy costs, allowing for precise determination of energy input per production unit and creation of an energy budget based on planned production volume.
  • Better preventive maintenance: Data is often useful for preventive maintenance programs.
  • Environmental benefits: Energy savings result in reduced carbon dioxide emissions and other air pollutants.

Deadline for compliance and consequences of non-compliance

Large companies are required to conduct an energy audit or certify their system according to ISO 50001 by December 5, 2015.

However, if a company has a valid energy audit conducted within three years before the effective date of this law (July 1, 2015), such an audit is considered compliant with this law, and the obligation is met until June 30, 2019.

The  EN ISO 50001 standard provides guidance for any organization whose top management aims to reduce operational costs in line with the energy policies of the European Union and the Czech Republic.

What We Offer

  • Implementation: We provide implementation services according to the requirements of ČSN EN ISO 50001 or ČSN EN 14001, aiming for successful certification and sustainability of the specified systems.
  • Sustainability Collaboration: We offer collaboration on maintaining the entire system, including the preparation of relevant documents, their updates, internal audits, professional training, seminars, and participation in recertification or surveillance audits.
  • Energy Monitoring: We assist in the implementation of energy monitoring, including conducting energy audits, designing action plans, identifying appropriate energy efficiency indicators, monitoring consumption, and evaluating opportunities for savings from energy, environmental, and economic perspectives.

We have energy specialists and other experts at our disposal.
