That commitment to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to gradually purchase energy efficiency for more than a years– cutting annual natural gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy expense savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a new greenhouse, Baumans connected to greenhouse supplier 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,” stated Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering excellent light quality for plant growth. Roof vents in each bay permit 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 innovation, the greenhouse is anticipated to save an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas expenses compared to single-wall construction. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help balance out the added expense.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Rest assured, well be doing more projects in the future,” stated Bauman.
