That dedication to sustainability has actually triggered Baumans to steadily purchase energy performance for more than a years– cutting yearly gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering annual energy cost savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a big area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays quite constant,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, supplying excellent light quality for plant growth. Roofing system vents in each bay permit natural ventilation. The gable design has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal drape, which Baumans strategies to set up in the future.
The greenhouse is expected to save an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas expenses compared to single-wall building and construction since of twin-wall innovation. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money reward of $2,400 to help offset the included expense.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Rest assured, well be doing more jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
