How does Mainfreight San Francisco compare with other distribution center buildings in California?

Mainfreight San Francisco's ENERGY STAR score of 100 compares with an average of 67 across the 2,485 that report a score; it scores higher than 93% of them. Its site EUI of 1.1 kBtu/ft² is about 94% below the average of 19.8 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 92% below the group average of 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 226,322 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 238,298 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2000, 6 years later than the group's average year built (1994). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,082 distribution center buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 24.2 kBtu/ft².
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. In California, 65% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
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. Mainfreight San Francisco's 1.1 kBtu/ft² across 226,322 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (73 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 70,587 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Mainfreight San Francisco to report its energy use?
Mainfreight San Francisco 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 2023 disclosure (source record california:34665362:2023).
