That dedication to sustainability has prompted Baumans to progressively purchase energy performance for more than a years– cutting annual gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy expense savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse vendor OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays quite continuous,” said Bauman.
The greenhouse is anticipated to save an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall construction because of twin-wall innovation. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to assist balance out the included cost.
Baumans has actually received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest ensured, well be doing more tasks in the future,” stated Bauman.
