General Motors Corporation - Good Tracking Pays
Establishing a tracking system requires an investment of time and money. But, once the system is in place, it can pay for itself by highlighting which facilities use the most energy, pointing to areas of greatest opportunity, and even identifying errors in utility bills, such as overcharges, that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. General Motors estimates that its tracking system, which took over $1 million to develop, has paid for itself multiple times.
