This document gives guidelines for how to compare and prioritize energy saving projects (EnSPs)
before implementation, using economic and financial evaluation. It includes a common set of principles.
This document is applicable to all EnSPs and energy performance improvement actions (EPIAs) that are
developed by stakeholders and organizations for improving energy performance, irrespective of the
type and size of an organization and its energy use and consumption.
The methodology for quantification methods for predicted energy savings and measurement and
verification (M&V) of the energy savings are not in the scope of this document.
NOTE The methodology for the estimation of the energy savings is critical when determining cost savings.
The methodology of the scenario generation (building) for future energy saving measures and actions
is not covered by this document.
General rules and methodologies within this document can be used either independently or in
conjunction with other standards and protocols.Cross References:ISO Guide 73IEC 31010ISO 50047IEC 60300-3-3ISO 50001:2018ISO 26382:2010ISO/IEC 13273-1:2015ISO 50015:2014ISO 15663-3:2001ISO 15686-5:2017ISO 15663-1:2000ISO 31000:2018ISO 15663-2:2001ISO 17741:2016ISO 50046:2019All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
