That dedication to sustainability has actually triggered Baumans to steadily buy energy performance for more than a decade– cutting annual gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly energy expense savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a brand-new greenhouse, Baumans connected to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a big space with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse stays quite constant,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, providing outstanding light quality for plant growth. Roofing system vents in each bay allow for natural ventilation. The gable design has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal drape, which Baumans strategies to install in the future.
Since of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an approximated $10,700 in annual gas costs compared to single-wall construction. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash reward of $2,400 to help balance out the included cost.
Baumans has actually received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
