That dedication to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to progressively purchase energy effectiveness for more than a decade– cutting yearly natural gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy expense savings of around $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 big area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays rather constant,” stated Bauman.
Since of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas expenses compared to single-wall building and construction. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help offset the added cost.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Feel confident, well be doing more projects in the future,” said Bauman.
