That commitment to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to steadily purchase energy performance for more than a decade– cutting annual natural gas use by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly energy expense savings of roughly $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a brand-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 space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse stays rather constant,” stated Bauman.
The greenhouse is expected to save an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall building due to the fact that of twin-wall innovation. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash reward of $2,400 to help balance out the included cost.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
