A Report on the Economic Feasibility of an Energy Control System for Fort Knox.

Abstract

Fort Knox was evaluated for the economics of an energy control system. The minimum simple payback determined was 4.21 years for 74 buildings. The minimum life cycle cost payback period determined using DAEN-MCE-U escalation was 4.9 years for 74 buildings. A combination of a central control system and microprocessors will have paybacks of 3.54 years and 3.78 years for the same scenarios respectively. (Author)
