Summary
In short
- An energy consumption log is a log used in KnowEnviro that records energy use by source and area. It is built against ISO 50001 cl.9.1 and forms part of the Energy and Decarbonisation programme.
- Completed monthly from meters and invoices. Kept by facilities.
- The template holds 40 fields across 5 sections, with readings repeating for each entry.
- Scoring is consumption per unit, where high is bad.
- ISO 50001 is energy management systems. The international standard for improving energy performance and consumption. Certifiable.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links Site, Asset.
What it is
What it is
What is an energy consumption log?
An energy consumption log is a log used in KnowEnviro that records energy use by source and area. It is built against ISO 50001 cl.9.1 and forms part of the Energy and Decarbonisation programme.
When is an energy consumption log completed?
An energy consumption log is completed continuously, as entries occur. Completed monthly from meters and invoices.
When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This log is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this log covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form ECL-2026-000
- You are running the Energy and Decarbonisation programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links site, asset
Not for
- Energy Review, which identifies where energy is used most and where the largest savings are available.
- Energy Saving Initiative, which records an energy reduction project, its baseline, its cost and its result.
- Anything outside KnowEnviro, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the energy consumption log template based on?+
It is built against ISO 50001 cl.9.1. ISO 50001 is energy management systems. The international standard for improving energy performance and consumption. Certifiable. ISO is international Organization for Standardization. A voluntary international standard. Widely adopted, often required by customers, and certifiable where a management system standard.
What sections does the energy consumption log contain?+
There are 5 sections: header, readings, site totals, related records, base load. Together they hold 40 fields, 23 of which are required.
How often is an energy consumption log raised?+
A new record is raised continuously, as entries occur. Each one is given an ID in the form ECL-2026-000, so it can be traced and referenced from other records.
Which programme does the energy consumption log belong to?+
It is part of Energy and Decarbonisation. Intensity improving on a normalised basis, with figures you could put in front of a customer.
How is an energy consumption log scored?+
Scoring is consumption per unit. High is bad. Scores exist to make the form tell you something, not to produce a percentage for its own sake.
Can the energy consumption log template be changed?+
Yes. Every field, option, score and conditional rule is editable, and the links to other templates come with it. Most teams install it as it is, run it for a cycle, then adjust.
The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the energy consumption log library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowEnviro — environment and energy. Aspects, permits, waste, emissions, spills and sustainability reporting.
