Its site EUI of 70.1 kBtu/ft² is about 42% above the average of 49.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 41% above the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 17,698 sq ft, it is about 84% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1954, 13 years later than the group's average year built (1941). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 2,307 commercial buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 76 and a site EUI of 51.3 kBtu/ft².
How has 1501 LOMBARD ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 1501 LOMBARD ST, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 42 in 2013 to 71 in 2025 (+29 points). Site EUI moved from 102.1 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 70.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 31% decrease. Reported emissions went from 84 tCO₂e to 50 tCO₂e over the same span (down 40%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 71 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 71 means the building performs better than about 71% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 71 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 4 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. 1501 LOMBARD ST's 70.1 kBtu/ft² across 17,698 sq ft works out to about 1.2 billion Btu (364 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 111.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 83,169 kWh of electricity and 6,338 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 1501 LOMBARD ST to report its energy use?
1501 LOMBARD 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:0504/011:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
