That dedication to sustainability has triggered Baumans to gradually invest in energy performance for more than a decade– cutting yearly gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering annual energy expense 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 large area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays rather consistent,” stated Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering outstanding light quality for plant development. Roof 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 install in the future.
The greenhouse is anticipated to save an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall building due to the fact that of twin-wall innovation. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help offset the included expense.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Feel confident, well be doing more projects in the future,” said Bauman.
