$44.99 (as of 00:21 GMT +00:00 - More info)Founded by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of supplying trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to consumers throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a household organization, were devoted not only to our consumers but to being excellent stewards of the Earth and neighborhood,” said Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths great, great grandson. That dedication to sustainability has prompted Baumans to progressively buy energy efficiency for more than a decade– cutting annual natural gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly energy cost savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a 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 in the greenhouse remains quite consistent,” stated Bauman.
Because of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is expected to save an estimated $10,700 in yearly natural gas costs compared to single-wall building and construction. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help balance out the added expense.
Baumans has actually gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take advantage of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Feel confident, well be doing more jobs in the future,” said Bauman.
