That dedication to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to gradually invest in energy effectiveness for more than a decade– cutting yearly natural gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy cost savings of approximately $42,200.
In 2015, when it was time to install a new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse stays rather constant,” stated Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, providing exceptional light quality for plant development. Roof vents in each bay enable for natural ventilation. The gable style has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal drape, which Baumans plans to set up in the future.
Due to the fact that of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an estimated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall building. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to assist balance out the included cost.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Rest ensured, well be doing more tasks in the future,” said Bauman.
