1150 SACRAMENTO ST

How does 1150 SACRAMENTO ST compare with other mixed residential buildings in San Francisco?

The latest disclosures cover 610 mixed residential buildings in San Francisco, out of 2,509 buildings citywide. 1150 SACRAMENTO ST's ENERGY STAR score of 82 compares with an average of 85 across the 340 that report a score; it scores higher than 24% of them and lower than 76%. Its site EUI of 29.3 kBtu/ft² is about 19% below the average of 36.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 19% below the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 84,692 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1989, 23 years later than the group's average year built (1967).

How has 1150 SACRAMENTO ST's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 1150 SACRAMENTO ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 54 in 2019 to 82 in 2025 (+28 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 90. Site EUI moved from 32.1 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 29.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 9% decrease. Reported emissions went from 175 tCO₂e to 137 tCO₂e over the same span (down 22%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 82 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: a score of 82 means the building performs better than about 82% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 82 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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 San Francisco, 73% 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. 1150 SACRAMENTO ST's 29.3 kBtu/ft² across 84,692 sq ft works out to about 2.5 billion Btu (727 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 57.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 376,556 kWh of electricity and 11,970 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires 1150 SACRAMENTO ST to report its energy use?

1150 SACRAMENTO ST 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:0222/048:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
