Transition to SEP
The implementation of ISO 50001 requires your organization to include energy considerations in your design activities. There are no additional ANSI/MSE 50021 or SEP Measurement & Verification Protocol (M&V Protocol) requirements but there is a SEP scorecard credit related to design. The details are described below.
Step 3.6 Manage energy considerations in design
How to do it
Additional information on energy considerations in design is found below:
ANSI/MSE 50021
There are no additional requirements related to ANSI/MSE 50021.
SEP M&V Protocol
There are no additional requirements related to the SEP M&V Protocol.
SEP Scorecard Credits for the Mature Pathway
Organizations utilizing the Mature Pathway for their achievement have an opportunity to acquire SEP Scorecard credits by enhancing their design practices within their energy management system (EnMS). The credit related to design is listed below.

Significant Energy Use (SU) Credit 3.2: Utilize energy-efficient design (2 possible points)
SU Credit 3.2 – Your organization earns the points for this credit by including energy-efficiency in your organization’s design practices. This credit encourages your organization to go beyond the ISO 50001 design requirements and consider other factors besides first cost as a justification for rejecting energy-efficiency features. Design records for major facility, system and equipment upgrades must include energy-efficient design features, their potential savings, and the reasons for their rejection if they are not included in the final design.
