How does 1400 GEARY BLVD compare with other multifamily buildings in San Francisco?
The latest disclosures cover 192 multifamily buildings in San Francisco, out of 2,509 buildings citywide. 1400 GEARY BLVD's ENERGY STAR score of 100 compares with an average of 86 across the 129 that report a score; it scores higher than 78% of them. Its site EUI of 11.4 kBtu/ft² is about 67% below the average of 34.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 66% below the group average of 1.9 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 406,047 sq ft, it is about twice the average floor area of 191,699 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1969, 17 years earlier than the group's average year built (1986). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 238 multifamily buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 86 and a site EUI of 34.8 kBtu/ft².
How has 1400 GEARY BLVD's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 1400 GEARY BLVD, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 100 in both 2022 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 5.7 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 11.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 100% increase. Reported emissions went from 140 tCO₂e to 265 tCO₂e over the same span (up 90%).
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 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. 1400 GEARY BLVD's 11.4 kBtu/ft² across 406,047 sq ft works out to about 4.6 billion Btu (1,357 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 32.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,359,094 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires 1400 GEARY BLVD to report its energy use?
1400 GEARY BLVD 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:0697/039:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
