That commitment to sustainability has prompted Baumans to gradually invest in energy efficiency for more than a years– cutting annual natural gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy expense savings of around $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install 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 level in the greenhouse stays rather constant,” said Bauman.
The greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas expenses compared to single-wall building and construction due to the fact that of twin-wall technology. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to assist offset the included expense.
Baumans has actually gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Rest ensured, well be doing more projects in the future,” stated Bauman.
