24% OffEstablished by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of providing trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to customers throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a family service, were committed not only to our consumers however to being good stewards of the Earth and neighborhood,” stated Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths great, terrific grand son. That commitment to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to progressively buy energy performance for more than a decade– cutting yearly natural gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly 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 large area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains rather continuous,” said Bauman.
Due to the fact that of twin-wall innovation, 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 included cost.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Feel confident, well be doing more jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
