Its site EUI of 0.8 kBtu/ft² is about 85% below the average of 5.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 75% below the group average of 0.4 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 176,842 sq ft, it is about 78% above the average floor area of 99,202 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1989, 4 years earlier than the group's average year built (1993). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,050 self-storage facility buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 75 and a site EUI of 9.4 kBtu/ft².
What does a site EUI of 0.8 kBtu/ft² mean?
Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. Plano Self Storage's 0.8 kBtu/ft² across 176,842 sq ft works out to about 0.1 billion Btu (41 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 39,461 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Plano Self Storage to report its energy use?
