That dedication to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to gradually invest in energy efficiency for more than a decade– cutting yearly natural gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly energy cost savings of roughly $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a brand-new greenhouse, Baumans connected to greenhouse vendor OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse remains rather continuous,” stated Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering excellent light quality for plant development. Roof vents in each bay permit natural ventilation. The gable style has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal drape, which Baumans strategies to install in the future.
Since of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to save an estimated $10,700 in yearly gas costs compared to single-wall building. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help offset the added cost.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Feel confident, well be doing more tasks in the future,” stated Bauman.
