MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- Air Force Global Strike Command’s Minot AFB was recently recognized for earning the Air Force’s top energy and water conservation award here May 31. Among one of the projects that has had a significant impact on the base’s energy conservation efforts has been the revamping of its primary heating systems. According to the AFGSC capability assessment, in 2009, the base replaced its primary heating plant for high efficiency pulse boilers (shown here) in select facilities which led to a savings of $2.6 million in energy and water costs, a 19 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and more than $48,000 in annual maintenance savings.
