What does a site EUI of 21.4 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. 101 CARGO WAY's 21.4 kBtu/ft² across 24,016 sq ft works out to about 0.5 billion Btu (151 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 40.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 72,655 kWh of electricity and 2,600 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 101 CARGO WAY to report its energy use?
101 CARGO WAY reports under SF Environment Code Chapter 20, the legal basis of San Francisco's Existing Buildings Energy Performance Ordinance, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2025 disclosure (source record sf:4570/031:2025).
