Ireland’s leading hard FM service provider, Sensori FM has today announced that it has achieved ISO 50001:2018 certification for its energy management system.
Sensori FM has achieved a significant milestone of certification to the International Energy Management System Standard ISO 50001, which is designed to implement, establish, and maintain a continuous standard of energy reduction.
Sensori FM is now operating under quadruple certification to internationally recognised standards, including quality management (ISO 9001:2015), environmental management (ISO 14001:2015), occupational health and safety management (ISO 45001:2018), and energy management (ISO 50001:2018).
The main objective of the ISO 50001 standard is to continually improve an organisation’s energy performance, which includes energy consumption, use, and efficiency. The standard employs a defined approach that helps organisations establish systems and processes to identify untapped energy efficiencies and make a significant contribution to environmental performance, climate protection, and reduction of CO2 emissions.
Regarding the ISO 50001 certification Sensori FM’s Quality and Compliance Manager, Declan O’Connor added;
“Energy reduction and efficiencies are a key part of our sustainability programme. The pursuit of ISO 50001 was the next logical step on our sustainability journey and complemented the company’s well-established integrated management system and business model. Being socially responsible is a core value of Sensori FM and something we strive to keep at the heart of everything we do as a company. The process of attaining ISO 50001 has given us greater insight into how we as a company can improve our energy management. Sensori FM is now well placed to demonstrate to customers and stakeholders alike its credentials in energy management and sustainability.”
Mark Cullen, Managing Director added;
“We are very pleased to have achieved the ISO 50001 standard which is a great addition to our company standards portfolio. This is a further testament to our company’s commitment and that of our staff to embracing a sustainable model of operating and managing our energy footprint responsibly and we will continue to use this additional tool to reduce our environmental impact and our energy costs.”
Sensori FM has today announced a signed agreement as part of a design, build, and maintenance project for seven Community Nursing Units (CNUs), at locations throughout Ireland, under the HIQA compliance programme and through Public Private Partnership (CNU PPP Project).
Sensori FM, as part of the EquiSisk Consortium, will provide a full range of integrated facilities management solutions throughout the nursing units. Sensori FM will be embedded in the units, providing managed services for the HSE on a 24/7 basis, as the custodians of the buildings for the duration of the concession period of 25 years.
All units will be located on existing HSE grounds, in close proximity to existing healthcare premises. A breakdown of the locations is as follows:
- Ardee – 50 beds; greenfield site
- Athlone – 50 beds; undeveloped site in the town of Athlone
- Clonmel – 50 beds greenfield site on an existing HSE campus
- Killarney – 130 beds, greenfield site in the town
- Middleton – 50 beds, urban site on an existing HSE campus
- St Finbarr’s – 105 beds within the existing St Finbarr’s Hospital campus; a two and three-storey precast concrete superstructure and
- Thomastown – 95 beds, greenfield site adjacent to an existing HSE facility
PJ Coady, Head of PPP Projects at Sensori FM, commented on the announcement:
“Sensori FM is delighted to be a part of delivering and maintaining this vital community healthcare project. This is a long-term and prestigious contract to have been awarded and we are committed to collaborating with the consortium partners and delivering these essential services to the HSE. We recognise the importance of these facilities for the local communities and look forward to extending our national reach, recruiting locally, and engaging with supply chain partners in the specific regions”.
Construction by Sisk on five of the facilities will commence before Christmas 2022 (Ardee, Clonmel, Killarney, St Finbarr’s – Cork and Thomastown) and the remaining two (Athlone and Midleton) by early 2023. All facilities are expected to have construction completed by the end of 2024.
“This €250m greenfield development project is a design, build, finance, and maintenance project for seven new Community Nursing Units (CMU’s) across Ireland. The project will play a vital part in responding to the challenges of Ireland’s ageing population and is considered a vitally important social and national healthcare project. The project’s aim is to improve access to high-quality elderly and long-term care throughout Ireland, replacing the existing units. This project demonstrates Equitix’s long-term commitment to investment in Ireland,” said Michael McBrearty, Managing Director, Investments at Equitix Limited.
