Founded 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 organization, were devoted not only to our consumers however to being good stewards of the Earth and neighborhood,” said Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths great, fantastic grand son. That commitment to sustainability has actually triggered Baumans to progressively buy energy effectiveness 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 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 big area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse remains quite continuous,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering excellent light quality for plant growth. Roof vents in each bay enable natural ventilation. The gable design has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal curtain, which Baumans plans to install in the future.
Due to the fact that of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an estimated $10,700 in yearly gas expenses compared to single-wall building. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help offset the added cost.
Baumans has actually gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Feel confident, well be doing more projects in the future,” stated Bauman.
