That dedication to sustainability has prompted Baumans to steadily purchase energy efficiency for more than a years– cutting annual gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering annual energy cost savings of roughly $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse vendor 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 remains rather constant,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, providing exceptional light quality for plant development. Roofing vents in each bay enable natural ventilation. The gable style has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal drape, which Baumans strategies to install in the future.
Due to the fact that of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is expected to conserve an estimated $10,700 in annual natural gas expenses compared to single-wall building. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to assist offset the added cost.
Baumans has actually gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Feel confident, well be doing more projects in the future,” stated Bauman.
