That commitment to sustainability has prompted Baumans to gradually invest in energy performance for more than a years– cutting annual gas use by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering annual energy expense savings of around $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse remains quite consistent,” stated Bauman.
The greenhouse is expected to conserve an estimated $10,700 in yearly natural gas expenses compared to single-wall construction due to the fact that of twin-wall innovation. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to assist offset the added expense.
Baumans has actually received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more tasks in the future,” said Bauman.
