Detroit Diesel Saves $815,000 per Year with Platinum SEP Certification
The Daimler’s Detroit Diesel Corporation facility used a rigorous energy management system (EnMS) to achieve Platinum certification in AMO’s Superior Energy Performance® (SEP™) program. The facility’s annual energy savings, $815,000, resulted from low- to no-cost operational improvements attributable to SEP and ISO 50001.
