This paper presents a methodology that allows the implementation of an energy management system following the guidelines of the ISO 50001 standard. A gap analysis was performed to determine the position of the organization with respect to the requirements of the standard, and the next step was the inspection of the plant to find opportunities for improvement that would lead to energy optimization. From the results, six equipment was the cause of the 82% of the energy consumption in the production process, and some recommendation was proposed with the aim to optimize energy consumption. A methodology is proposed for the standard implementation, which can be implemented by different organizations from different fields to achieve savings in energy costs in the plant. Some relevant actions to improve the energy performance of the plant were proposed, such as the optimization of the compressed air system, the reduction of potential numbers of leakage, and the reduction of the working pressure of the system.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Scientia et Technica}, author={Valencia, Guillermo and Rodriguez, Katherin Nahomy and Torregroza Matos, Gloria Raquel and Acevedo, Carlos and Duarte Forero, Jorge}, year={2020}, month={jun.}, pages={261–268} }
