That dedication to sustainability has prompted Baumans to steadily buy energy performance for more than a years– cutting annual natural gas use by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing annual energy expense savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a 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 area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse remains quite continuous,” stated Bauman.
The greenhouse is expected to conserve an estimated $10,700 in annual natural gas expenses compared to single-wall construction because of twin-wall innovation. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help balance out the added cost.
Baumans has actually received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take advantage of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Feel confident, well be doing more tasks in the future,” said Bauman.
