That commitment to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to gradually buy energy efficiency for more than a decade– cutting yearly gas use by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly energy expense savings of approximately $42,200.
In 2015, when it was time to install a new greenhouse, Baumans connected to greenhouse vendor OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model 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 quite constant,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, supplying outstanding light quality for plant growth. Roofing system vents in each bay permit natural ventilation. The gable style has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal curtain, which Baumans plans to install in the future.
Since of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an estimated $10,700 in yearly natural gas expenses compared to single-wall construction. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help offset the included cost.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more projects in the future,” stated Bauman.
