That commitment to sustainability has actually triggered Baumans to gradually purchase energy performance for more than a decade– cutting yearly gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy cost savings of roughly $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays rather continuous,” said Bauman.
Since of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is expected to conserve an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall building. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help balance out the added cost.
Baumans has actually gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more jobs in the future,” said Bauman.
