That dedication to sustainability has triggered Baumans to steadily 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 around $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a brand-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 large area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays rather consistent,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, providing exceptional 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 plans to install in the future.
Due to the fact that of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is expected to save an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas costs compared to single-wall construction. 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 make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest assured, well be doing more tasks in the future,” said Bauman.
