Chemical Engineering Progress, a print publication of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, described the benefits of managing energy with ISO 50001 and Superior Energy Performance (SEP) in its September 2014 edition. In particular, the article highlights the DOE eGuide—a free online toolkit that provides step-by-step guidance for implementing ISO 50001—as a key resource to help facilities achieve ISO 50001 and SEP certification.

SEP is an energy management certification program that requires U.S. plants to meet the ISO 50001 energy management standard and verify the savings they achieve. DOE provides guidance and specialized software tools to help manufacturers implement their energy management systems effectively. DOE sponsors SEP in partnership with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and U.S. Council for Energy-Efficient Manufacturing.
