Established by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of offering trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to consumers throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a family organization, were committed not just to our customers however to being good stewards of the Earth and neighborhood,” said Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths great, great grandson. That commitment to sustainability has prompted Baumans to steadily invest in energy effectiveness for more than a years– cutting yearly natural gas usage by an estimated 55,000 therms and delivering yearly energy cost savings of around $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a new greenhouse, Baumans connected to greenhouse vendor OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse remains quite constant,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, providing exceptional 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 curtain, which Baumans plans to install in the future.
The greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an estimated $10,700 in yearly natural gas costs compared to single-wall building and construction due to the fact that of twin-wall innovation. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money reward of $2,400 to help offset the included expense.
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 jobs in the future,” stated Bauman.
