22% OffEstablished by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of offering trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to customers throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a family service, were devoted not only to our customers but to being good stewards of the Earth and neighborhood,” said Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths excellent, great grand son. That commitment to sustainability has prompted Baumans to steadily purchase energy efficiency for more than a decade– cutting annual gas usage by an approximated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly energy expense 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 large area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains rather constant,” stated Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering excellent light quality for plant development. Roofing 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 set up in the future.
Since of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas costs compared to single-wall construction. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money reward of $2,400 to assist offset the added expense.
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 jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
