That commitment to sustainability has triggered Baumans to progressively purchase energy efficiency for more than a decade– cutting yearly gas use by an estimated 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 supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains rather continuous,” stated Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering excellent 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 strategies to set up in the future.
Since of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to save an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas expenses compared to single-wall construction. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help offset the added cost.
Baumans has actually gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Rest assured, well be doing more projects in the future,” stated Bauman.
