The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, supplying exceptional light quality for plant growth. Roofing system vents in each bay enable natural ventilation. The gable style has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal curtain, which Baumans plans to set up in the future.
Due to the fact that of twin-wall innovation, the greenhouse is expected to save an approximated $10,700 in annual gas costs compared to single-wall construction. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money reward of $2,400 to help offset the added expense.
