That commitment to sustainability has prompted Baumans to progressively buy energy efficiency for more than a years– cutting annual gas use by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering annual energy cost savings of around $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a brand-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 big space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains quite consistent,” stated Bauman.
The greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an estimated $10,700 in yearly natural gas costs compared to single-wall building because of twin-wall technology. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash reward of $2,400 to assist offset the included expense.
Baumans has actually gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Feel confident, well be doing more tasks in the future,” said Bauman.
