In 2015, when it was time to set up a new greenhouse, Baumans connected to greenhouse vendor OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains quite continuous,” stated Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering exceptional light quality for plant development. Roof vents in each bay enable for natural ventilation. The gable style has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal curtain, which Baumans plans to set up in the future.
The greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an estimated $10,700 in yearly natural gas expenses 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 balance out the added expense.
Baumans has actually gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more projects in the future,” said Bauman.
