That dedication to sustainability has triggered Baumans to steadily purchase energy performance for more than a decade– cutting annual natural gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering annual energy cost 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 model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a big area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse remains quite constant,” said Bauman.
The greenhouse is anticipated to save an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall building and construction because of twin-wall innovation. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money reward of $2,400 to help balance out the added expense.
Baumans has actually received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more projects in the future,” stated Bauman.
