30% OffEstablished by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of offering trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to customers throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a household company, were committed not just to our consumers however to being good stewards of the Earth and neighborhood,” stated Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths fantastic, great grand son. That commitment to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to gradually invest in energy effectiveness for more than a decade– cutting annual natural gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing annual energy cost savings of approximately $42,200.
In 2015, when it was time to set up a brand-new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse vendor OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a big area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse stays rather continuous,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, providing exceptional light quality for plant development. Roofing vents in each bay enable for natural ventilation. The gable design 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 save an approximated $10,700 in annual gas costs compared to single-wall construction. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help offset the included expense.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Feel confident, well be doing more tasks in the future,” said Bauman.
