That commitment to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to gradually invest in energy efficiency for more than a years– cutting annual natural gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering annual energy cost savings of roughly $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install 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 space with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains rather continuous,” said Bauman.
Because of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is expected to conserve an estimated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall building. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help offset the included cost.
Baumans has actually gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Rest ensured, well be doing more projects in the future,” said Bauman.
