At 57,082 sq ft, it is about 66% below the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1906, 60 years earlier than the group's average year built (1967).
How has 16 JESSIE ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 16 JESSIE ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 18 in 2023 to 11 in 2025 (-7 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 28. Site EUI moved from 55.0 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 54.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 0% decrease. Reported emissions went from 178 tCO₂e to 170 tCO₂e over the same span (down 4%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 11 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 11 means the building performs better than about 11% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 11 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 64 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. 16 JESSIE ST's 54.9 kBtu/ft² across 57,082 sq ft works out to about 3.1 billion Btu (918 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 86.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 273,157 kWh of electricity and 22,036 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 16 JESSIE ST to report its energy use?
16 JESSIE 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:3708/121:2025).
