That commitment to sustainability has triggered Baumans to steadily buy energy efficiency for more than a decade– cutting annual gas use by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly energy cost savings of around $42,200.

The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering excellent light quality for plant growth. Roofing 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.
The greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall construction because of twin-wall innovation. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash reward of $2,400 to assist offset the included expense.
