Ft. Knox, Ky. is located on 109,000 acres of land and has won numerous DoD and U.S. Department of Energy awards for its energy initiatives over the past 20 years. The base currently leads a natural gas pilot program chartered by DoD to find the best energy-efficient way forward for other installations.
Knox is constantly pushing the limits to fully utilize the installation’s resources to save money and move toward energy self-sustainment. Here’s how the base creates its own heating, cooling and power – and becoming a blueprint for other military installations to reach their own energy efficiency goals.
