That commitment to sustainability has triggered Baumans to gradually buy energy performance for more than a years– cutting yearly gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing yearly 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 large area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse remains quite consistent,” stated Bauman.
The greenhouse is anticipated to save an estimated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall building because of twin-wall innovation. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to assist offset the added expense.
Baumans has actually gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more tasks in the future,” said Bauman.
