That dedication to sustainability has actually triggered Baumans to progressively invest in energy efficiency for more than a decade– cutting yearly natural gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering annual energy cost savings of roughly $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a brand-new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains quite continuous,” said Bauman.
Due to the fact that of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to save an estimated $10,700 in annual natural gas expenses compared to single-wall building and construction. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to assist balance out the included expense.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Feel confident, well be doing more jobs in the future,” said Bauman.
