COHORT APPLICATION: ISO 50001/SEP Pilot Program

The U.S. Department of Energy invites applications for a pilot program to help companies implement ISO 50001 and the Superior Energy Performance (SEP) program across multiple facilities throughout North America and worldwide. This pilot program is in partnership with the Commission for Environmental Cooperation and national energy agencies in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Selected participants will learn how to apply and implement the ISO 50001 energy management system and SEP program as well as share best practices across multiple facilities to improve energy performance, reduce energy costs, and lower carbon emissions.

Click here to learn more about this program and to apply. Applications are due by December 7, 2015.

For any questions on the pilot program, please contact Paul Scheihing, DOE SEP lead at paul.scheihing@ee.doe.gov.
