That dedication to sustainability has triggered Baumans to progressively purchase energy performance for more than a decade– cutting annual natural gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy cost savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a brand-new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a big space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse stays rather consistent,” said Bauman.
Because of twin-wall innovation, the greenhouse is expected to conserve an estimated $10,700 in yearly gas costs compared to single-wall building. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash reward of $2,400 to help offset the included cost.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We take advantage of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Rest assured, well be doing more jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
