Energy Manual Guidelines

These Energy Manual Guidelines are a resource available within the U.S. Department of Energy’s 50001 Ready Navigator tool. The document outlines what to include in an Energy Manual. An Energy Manual is a document that summarizes an organization’s EnMS (Energy Management System), is approved by top management, and establishes practices and communication around energy management commitments within an organization. This tool guides a user in creating a stand-alone Energy Manual that is 5-15 pages long and easily understood by all users. It also provides guidance on integrating an Energy Manual into other types of standardization documents in organization, as well as into onboarding documents. Primary audiences for this tool include: energy champions, executive sponsors, energy teams, and executive management.
