Let's talk about self storage.

Hey folks, I'm researching the issues self-storage owners/operators have with cooling costs in Texas heat. 

• Curious how AC usage impacts your electricity bills?
• What roofing materials/insulation you're using?
• Generally, how does the sun's heat impact your bottom line?

So, I'm eager to talk with members here about your experiences.

Why?
Background: I'm with a startup that makes a reflective coating that blocks 97% of the sun's heat. 
So far, we've worked with refrigerated trucking companies to:

• Lower internal temps by over 10°F
• Cut AC cooling costs by 20%
• Deliver an ROI in under 18 months
  

**Not here to pitch-genuinely trying to learn from the membership and see how well we fit.**

@Thomas Kent, much appreciated. 
I checked out your facility on maps and saw you've got white roofs; smart because this must help cut cooling costs. 

OK, if I hear some more about the expansion in 2021:

• See your costs have steadily declined from '22 through '24 - Thoughts on why that is?
• Did your builders talk you through options for saving on energy?
• Are steel roofs coated, or are they a different material?
• Any ideas on the 'r' value of the insulation? 

Finally, I know it's the middle of a work day, so I thank you for helping us out.
