That commitment to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to gradually purchase energy efficiency for more than a years– cutting yearly natural gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly energy cost savings of around $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a brand-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 large space with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains rather constant,” said Bauman.
The greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas expenses compared to single-wall building since of twin-wall technology. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help balance out the included cost.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more tasks in the future,” stated Bauman.
