That dedication to sustainability has actually triggered Baumans to progressively invest in energy efficiency for more than a years– cutting annual natural gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing annual energy expense savings of roughly $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 design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a big space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays rather consistent,” stated Bauman.
The greenhouse is expected to save an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas expenses compared to single-wall building due to the fact that of twin-wall technology. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money reward of $2,400 to help balance out the included expense.
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 tasks in the future,” said Bauman.
