That dedication to sustainability has triggered Baumans to progressively buy energy performance for more than a decade– cutting annual natural gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy expense savings of roughly $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a brand-new greenhouse, Baumans connected to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse stays rather consistent,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, providing exceptional light quality for plant growth. Roofing vents in each bay enable for natural ventilation. The gable design has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal drape, which Baumans plans to set up in the future.
Because of twin-wall innovation, the greenhouse is expected to conserve an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall building. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to assist balance out the included cost.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest ensured, well be doing more jobs in the future,” said Bauman.
