Established by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of providing trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to clients throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a family service, were committed not only to our clients however to being great stewards of the Earth and neighborhood,” stated Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths fantastic, great grand son. That dedication to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to gradually purchase energy effectiveness for more than a years– cutting annual natural gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy cost savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a brand-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 space with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains rather constant,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering excellent 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 drape, which Baumans plans to install in the future.
The greenhouse is expected to save an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas costs compared to single-wall building because of twin-wall innovation. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash reward of $2,400 to help balance out the included expense.
Baumans has actually received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest ensured, well be doing more jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
