That dedication to sustainability has actually triggered Baumans to steadily purchase energy performance for more than a decade– cutting annual gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy cost savings of roughly $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install 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 big area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse stays rather continuous,” said Bauman.
Because of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an estimated $10,700 in yearly gas expenses compared to single-wall building and construction. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money reward of $2,400 to assist offset the added expense.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Feel confident, well be doing more jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
