ISO50001 Ireland is an industry conference which will bring together approximately 200 senior management from Irish Business who are considering the transition to this International energy standard, but have yet to make the journey.
The theme/profile of this event is simply to create an exchange of information between organisations who are about to make the transition to ISO50001 and companies who have already made the transition. Our speakers have been carefully selected based on their experiences and knowledge of this standard and are keen to network with delegates in an effort to develop the standard further within Ireland.

Padraic O’Connor – Building Services Manager – John Sisk & Sons
Padraic, who has over 30 years’ experience in the construction sector, is Head of the Building Services Department in Ireland for John Sisk and Son (Holdings) Ltd where he leads a team of over 40 Building Services Engineers and Managers in the design , integration, commissioning demonstration and handover on all their projects.
John Sisk & Son (Holdings) Ltd has become one the first Irish / UK construction contractors to be certified against the ISO 50001 energy management standard by implementing a simple and effective energy system across its diverse portfolio of projects and offices in Ireland and the UK. Drawing upon a collaborative approach across many of its business functions, and with leadership through a dedicated core group – its Energy Forum, Sisk determined its energy use and put in place a management system.
The Energy Forum set the ambitious goal of implementing ISO 50001 – the energy management standard to help the company achieve its ‘Zero Energy Waste’ policy; with the ISO 50001 goal achieved in late 2015. Throughout this process the team have discovered that energy efficiency impacts all aspects of the business and that Energy Management in a construction company brings it’s own unique set of challenges because of the de-centralised nature of the construction business and because construction sites are temporary with energy consumption directly related to the stage of construction.
