That dedication to sustainability has actually triggered Baumans to steadily invest in energy effectiveness for more than a years– cutting annual natural gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering 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 constant,” stated Bauman.
Since of twin-wall innovation, the greenhouse is expected to conserve an approximated $10,700 in annual gas expenses compared to single-wall building. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help balance out the added expense.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Feel confident, well be doing more jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
