That commitment to sustainability has triggered Baumans to progressively invest in energy effectiveness for more than a decade– cutting annual gas usage 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 supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large space with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays rather consistent,” said Bauman.
The greenhouse is anticipated to save an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas expenses compared to single-wall building since of twin-wall technology. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help balance out the included cost.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Feel confident, well be doing more tasks in the future,” stated Bauman.
