That dedication to sustainability has prompted Baumans to progressively invest in energy efficiency for more than a decade– cutting annual natural gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering annual energy expense savings of roughly $42,200.
In 2015, when it was time to set up 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 large space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains rather constant,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, supplying excellent light quality for plant development. Roofing vents in each bay enable for natural ventilation. The gable design has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal drape, which Baumans strategies to install in the future.
Due to the fact that of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to save an approximated $10,700 in yearly gas costs compared to single-wall building. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help balance out the included cost.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take benefit of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Feel confident, well be doing more projects in the future,” said Bauman.
