Energy review, significant energy uses, EnPIs and baselines.

Practice questions, not official exam questions. Written by ISO Me to help you revise; real exams differ by scheme and provider.

Q1 In ISO 50001:2018 the energy review is clause:

Answer and explanation

Answer: A. 6.3 Energy review, followed by 6.4 EnPIs, 6.5 energy baseline and 6.6 planning for collection of energy data.

Reference: ISO 50001:2018 clause 6.3

Q2 EnPI stands for:

Answer and explanation

Answer: A. EnPIs are the measures used to monitor energy performance.

Reference: ISO 50001 terms

Q3 The energy baseline (EnB) is:

Answer and explanation

Answer: B. Energy performance improvement is demonstrated by comparing EnPI values against the baseline.

Reference: ISO 50001 clause 6.5

Q4 Significant energy uses (SEUs) are identified through:

Answer and explanation

Answer: A. The energy review analyses energy use and consumption and identifies SEUs and improvement opportunities.

Reference: ISO 50001 clause 6.3

Q5 ISO 50001 requires an organisation to demonstrate continual improvement in:

Answer and explanation

Answer: A. Unlike some standards, ISO 50001 expects improvement in energy performance itself, not just in the system.

Reference: ISO 50001 intent

Q6 Normalisation of energy data means:

A Rounding the figures
B Adjusting for relevant variables such as weather or production volume so comparisons are fair
C Ignoring unusual months
D Converting all energy to kilowatt-hours

Answer and explanation

Answer: B. Relevant variables (for example degree days or output) affect consumption, so data is normalised before comparing with the baseline.
