Roomia’s Sustainable Approach to Self Storage

At Roomia, we’re not just about providing secure and convenient spaces for your belongings; we’re committed to sustainability and reducing our environmental impact. Our storage facilities in Truganina, Seaford and Minchinbury showcase our dedication to eco-friendly practices, and we’re excited to share how our sustainability initiatives can make a positive difference for you, the community, and the planet.

Property Development: Building with the Environment in Mind

Sustainable Site Selection

Our journey toward sustainability begins with thoughtful site selection. When we develop purpose-built sites, we embrace the latest technology and innovative practices to minimise environmental impact right from the ground up. We exceed minimum environmental protection standards during construction to prevent pollution and waste, and we engineer our buildings to use passive (non-mechanical) ventilation as much as possible.

Long-Term Environmental Impact
We select materials with long-term environmental impacts in mind. For instance, investing in high-quality insulation helps reduce electricity consumption, a practical approach we adopt to ensure our buildings remain energy-efficient. Moreover, we work proactively with local government and community stakeholders to ensure our projects have minimal practical impact.

Adaptive Re-Use of Buildings: Breathing New Life into Old Spaces

One of our proudest achievements at Roomia is our decade-long experience in property refurbishment and renewal. By modifying existing buildings, we reduce the need for new construction, breathing new life into underutilised spaces and extending the economic life of buildings through our design and development expertise. This approach not only conserves resources but also preserves the character of our communities.

Embracing Energy Efficiency: A Brighter, Greener Future

LED Lighting
Energy efficiency is at the heart of our operations. Upgrading to energy-efficient LED lighting and motion sensor systems helps us minimize waste and conserve resources. We also install timer switches to ensure lights are only on when needed, further reducing our energy footprint.

Solar Power
Our self-storage facilities have ample rooftop space, making them perfect for harnessing solar power. By installing solar panels, we generate excess energy during non-peak hours and feed it back into the grid, contributing to the overall sustainability of the local community. Our solar initiatives don’t just benefit the environment—they also help keep our costs down, savings we pass on to our valued customers.

High-Performance Window Glazing
To maximise natural daylight while minimising energy consumption, we use high-performance window glazing. This offers superior insulation, reduces the need for artificial lighting, and minimises heat transfer. It’s another way we ensure our buildings are as energy-efficient as possible.

Waste Management, Recycling, and Paper Use Reduction

Recycling Initiatives
At Roomia, we’re passionate about recycling and reducing paper use. We provide convenient recycling bins for our customers to dispose of their recyclable items responsibly. Additionally, we encourage customers to adopt automatic rental payment options or email invoices to minimise paper use.

Paperless Operations
We’ve embraced a paperless approach with electronic contracts and an online system for managing all transactions. This not only reduces our environmental footprint but also streamlines the process for our customers, making everything more efficient and eco-friendly.

Landscaping: Going Native for a Greener Future

Native Plants
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our landscaping practices. We deliberately include landscaping in our properties to maximizse soft surface areas and maintain vegetation. By choosing native plants, we reduce the need for excessive watering, fertilizers, and pesticides. This not only helps the environment but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of our facilities.
Eco-Friendly Practices
The benefits of these eco-friendly practices are manifold. They improve the built environment, support local biodiversity, and create a pleasant atmosphere for our customers. Our green spaces are a testament to our dedication to sustainability.
