That dedication to sustainability has prompted Baumans to steadily purchase energy effectiveness for more than a years– cutting annual natural gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly energy expense savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a 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 space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains rather continuous,” said Bauman.
The greenhouse is expected to save an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas expenses compared to single-wall building since of twin-wall technology. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money reward of $2,400 to help offset the included cost.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
