That dedication to sustainability has triggered Baumans to progressively buy energy performance for more than a years– cutting annual gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing annual energy expense savings of approximately $42,200.
In 2015, when it was time to install a new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse vendor OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a big area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays rather constant,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering excellent light quality for plant growth. Roofing vents in each bay enable natural ventilation. The gable style has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal drape, which Baumans strategies to set up in the future.
The greenhouse is expected to conserve an estimated $10,700 in annual natural gas expenses compared to single-wall construction because of twin-wall technology. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help offset the included expense.
Baumans has actually received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest assured, well be doing more projects in the future,” stated Bauman.
