That dedication to sustainability has triggered Baumans to steadily purchase energy performance for more than a decade– cutting annual natural gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing yearly 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 design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains rather constant,” stated Bauman.
Because of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an estimated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall construction. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money reward of $2,400 to help balance out the added cost.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Feel confident, well be doing more jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
