That commitment to sustainability has prompted Baumans to gradually purchase energy performance for more than a decade– cutting yearly gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing annual energy expense savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up 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 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 innovation. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash reward of $2,400 to help balance out the added expense.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We take advantage of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest assured, well be doing more tasks in the future,” said Bauman.
