Founded by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of providing trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to customers throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a family business, were dedicated not only to our customers however to being excellent stewards of the Earth and community,” stated Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths excellent, terrific grand son. That commitment to sustainability has triggered Baumans to progressively invest in energy effectiveness for more than a years– cutting annual natural 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 set up a new greenhouse, Baumans connected to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse stays quite consistent,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, providing excellent light quality for plant development. Roofing 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.
The greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall construction because of twin-wall innovation. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to assist offset the included expense.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
