That commitment to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to steadily purchase energy effectiveness for more than a decade– cutting yearly natural 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 area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays rather consistent,” said Bauman.
Because of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas costs compared to single-wall building. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help offset the included cost.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We take advantage of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Rest ensured, well be doing more projects in the future,” said Bauman.
