15% OffFounded by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of providing trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to clients throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a household service, were committed not only to our consumers however to being great stewards of the Earth and neighborhood,” stated Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths excellent, excellent grand son. That dedication to sustainability has actually triggered Baumans to gradually invest in energy performance for more than a years– cutting yearly natural gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing annual energy expense savings of around $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a brand-new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse vendor OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays rather continuous,” stated Bauman.
The greenhouse is expected to conserve an estimated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall construction because of twin-wall technology. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash reward of $2,400 to help offset the added expense.
Baumans has actually received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest ensured, well be doing more projects in the future,” said Bauman.
