That dedication to sustainability has triggered Baumans to gradually buy energy efficiency for more than a years– cutting annual natural gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly energy expense savings of around $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a brand-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 space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains rather continuous,” stated Bauman.
Since of twin-wall innovation, the greenhouse is expected to save an estimated $10,700 in annual gas costs compared to single-wall construction. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help balance out the added expense.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Feel confident, well be doing more tasks in the future,” said Bauman.
