Plano Self Storage

How does Plano Self Storage compare with other self-storage facility buildings in California?

The latest disclosures cover 1,935 self-storage facility buildings in California, out of 40,029 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 1.2 kBtu/ft² is about 77% 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 80% 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 1900, 93 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 1.2 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 1.2 kBtu/ft² across 176,842 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (62 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 55,571 kWh of electricity and 204 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Plano Self Storage to report its energy use?

Plano Self Storage reports under AB 802 (Public Resources Code §25402.10), the legal basis of California's Building Energy Benchmarking Program (statewide), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record california:26965923:2024). AB 802 requires every California commercial building over 50,000 sq ft to report energy use to the CEC annually; the CEC publicly discloses the results statewide.
