That dedication to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to gradually invest in energy effectiveness for more than a decade– cutting yearly natural gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing annual energy cost 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 model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse remains rather consistent,” said Bauman.
Because of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is expected to save an approximated $10,700 in annual gas costs compared to single-wall building and construction. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help offset the included expense.
Baumans has actually received 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 projects in the future,” said Bauman.
