That dedication to sustainability has actually triggered Baumans to progressively purchase energy performance for more than a years– cutting yearly natural gas use by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy expense savings of around $42,200.
In 2015, when it was time to set up 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 area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains quite continuous,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering outstanding light quality for plant development. Roof vents in each bay enable natural ventilation. The gable design has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal curtain, which Baumans plans to set up in the future.
The greenhouse is expected to save an estimated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall construction because of twin-wall innovation. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help balance out the added expense.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more tasks in the future,” said Bauman.
