That commitment to sustainability has triggered Baumans to progressively purchase energy performance for more than a years– cutting annual natural gas use by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing annual energy cost savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large space with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse remains quite constant,” stated Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering outstanding light quality for plant development. Roofing system vents in each bay enable natural ventilation. The gable style has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal curtain, which Baumans strategies to set up in the future.
The greenhouse is expected to save an estimated $10,700 in yearly natural gas expenses compared to single-wall construction since of twin-wall technology. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help offset the added expense.
Baumans has actually gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more tasks in the future,” stated Bauman.
