• Documented information which is maintained under section 7.5 of ISO 50001, setting out the improvements in any energy performance indicators relating to energy spend or energy consumption under section 6.4 of ISO 50001 during the compliance period as a result of taking the actions detailed above

Energy saving measures identified through energy reviews

• Documented information which is maintained under section 7.5 of ISO 50001 in relation to ISO 50001 energy reviews carried out during the compliance period, setting out any opportunities for improving energy performance identified through those energy reviews
• Documented information which is maintained under section 7.5 of ISO 50001 in relation to ISO 50001 energy reviews carried out during the compliance period, setting out the potential improvement in energy performance indicators relating to energy spend or energy consumption that could be achieved from implementing those opportunities, where identified

A2.1 Organisation and energy use

Organisational details and personnel

• Organisational details and personnel
• Organisation name
• The number of companies within the participant group
• Organisational structure chart or equivalent information setting out the relationship between organisations in the participant group

Organisational structure chart (example)

Energy consumption and energy intensity ratios

• Total energy consumption in kWh
• Significant energy consumption in kWh
• Percentage of total energy consumption covered by areas of significant energy consumption
• A breakdown of total energy consumption and significant energy consumption in kWh by organisational purpose
• Energy intensity ratios for each relevant organisational purpose

Summary of energy saving measures implemented during the compliance period

• A list of energy savings measures implemented during the compliance period
• For each measure, an estimate of energy savings achieved since the end of the previous compliance period from implementing the measure, or a statement that this information is unavailable
• For each measure, which organisational purpose (buildings, transport, industrial processes, other energy uses) the energy consumption has reduced
• For each measure, the category of energy saving measure implemented (see section 10.2.1 for full list of categories)
• For each measure, whether it was identified though an ESOS audit, an alternative compliance route, or neither of these
• The total energy savings achieved during the compliance period
• The total energy savings for each organisational purpose during the compliance period
• The total energy savings for each category of energy saving measure during the compliance period

A2.2 Energy audits

Energy audit consumption and site visits

For each energy audit carried out:

• Date or period over which the energy audit was carried out
• 12 month period for which consumption data was used
• Energy consumption calculated for the purpose of the audit
• Number of sites visited for the audit
• Total number of sites covered by the audit
• Rationale for why the sites visited for the energy audit are considered to be representative

Energy audit analysis and recommendations

• Description of analysis carried out for the audit and site visit findings
• Details of any energy consumption profiles
• A list of all cost-effective energy saving opportunities identified through the audit
• For each energy saving opportunity, estimated financial costs and benefits from implementing the opportunity (this may be in the form of a payback period or life-cycle cost analysis)
• For each energy saving opportunity, the non-financial costs and benefits from implementing the opportunity
• For each energy saving opportunity, the estimated annual reduction in energy spend from implementing the opportunity
• For each energy saving opportunity, the estimated annual reduction in energy consumption from implementing the opportunity
• For each energy saving opportunity, the organisational purpose it relates to
• For each energy saving opportunity, the category of energy saving measure it relates to
• Summary of other possible improvements to energy efficiency deemed not to be cost-effective

Energy audit estimated potential savings
