That dedication to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to gradually buy energy effectiveness for more than a decade– cutting yearly natural gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering annual energy cost savings of around $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 model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a big space with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains quite continuous,” stated Bauman.
Because of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is expected to save an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas costs compared to single-wall construction. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to assist balance out the added expense.
Baumans has actually received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Rest ensured, well be doing more projects in the future,” said Bauman.
