Its site EUI of 38.4 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 36.0 kBtu/ft². Its emissions intensity of 2.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 89,567 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1900, 66 years earlier than the group's average year built (1967).
How has 1570 SUTTER ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 1570 SUTTER ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 90 in both 2022 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 39.4 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 38.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 3% decrease. Reported emissions went from 194 tCO₂e to 184 tCO₂e over the same span (down 5%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 90 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 90 means the building performs better than about 90% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 90 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. 1570 SUTTER ST's 38.4 kBtu/ft² across 89,567 sq ft works out to about 3.4 billion Btu (1,008 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 47.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 110,659 kWh of electricity and 30,630 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 1570 SUTTER ST to report its energy use?
1570 SUTTER 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:0673/007:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
