Overview

1. About IEnMP The U.S. Council for Energy-Efficient Manufacturing (U.S. CEEM) is positioning the U.S. industry as a global leader in energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and guides the development of Superior Energy Performance (SEP). As part of this effort, the Institute for Energy Management Professionals (IEnMP) was created. IEnMP is a non-profit organization, funded by the Department of Energy, existing to provide certifications to individuals in support of the SEP initiative.

The certifications offered by IEnMP encompass the following areas:

• Certified Practitioner in Energy Management Systems (CP EnMS) offered in both the industrial and commercial sectors.

• SEP Performance Verifier • SEP Lead Auditor

2. Purpose The purpose of the Certified Practitioner in Energy Management Systems credential is to assure that specialists have the skills, knowledge and performance capability to assist and evaluate companies in meeting the requirements of ISO 50001 applied to energy management. Specifically, an individual certified as CP EnMS:

• Works with an organization to establish and/or maintain an energy management system that meets the requirements of ISO 50001.

• Works with an organization to establish an energy management system that meets ANSI MSE 50021.

• Works with the organization to integrate ISO 50001 with their existing management systems.
