That dedication to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to steadily buy energy efficiency for more than a years– cutting annual gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering annual energy expense savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a brand-new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse vendor OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large space with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse stays quite consistent,” stated Bauman.
The greenhouse is anticipated to save an estimated $10,700 in annual natural gas expenses compared to single-wall building due to the fact that of twin-wall technology. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help balance out the added cost.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Feel confident, well be doing more jobs in the future,” said Bauman.
