How has 1405 MINNESOTA ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 1405 MINNESOTA ST, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 99 in 2015 to 49 in 2025 (-50 points); its best year on file was 2015, at 99. Site EUI moved from 24.0 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 54.7 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 128% increase. Reported emissions went from 25 tCO₂e to 44 tCO₂e over the same span (up 77%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 49 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 49 means the building performs better than about 49% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 49 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 26 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 1405 MINNESOTA ST's 54.7 kBtu/ft² across 14,500 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (232 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 124.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 163,966 kWh of electricity and 2,332 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 1405 MINNESOTA ST to report its energy use?
1405 MINNESOTA 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:4294/017:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
