Self Storage Facility Goes Green

There are several ways self storage owners can increase the efficiency of their buildings through green initiatives.  Storage Plus, located in Waltham, MA, sought to reduce operating expenses by investing in solar panels and hybrid vehicles.  The facility received approval for state grants to mitigate the cost of purchasing and installing the panels.  It is estimated that the panels should pay for themselves in approximately five years through the grants and energy savings.  In addition to the solar panels, the self storage facility recently purchased its third hybrid car for local deliveries and retrievals.
