Its site EUI of 14.6 kBtu/ft² is about 59% below the average of 36.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 60% below the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 76,374 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1928, 38 years earlier than the group's average year built (1967).
How has 18 LANSING ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 18 LANSING ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 91 in 2019 to 96 in 2025 (+5 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 98. Site EUI moved from 16.2 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 14.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 10% decrease. Reported emissions went from 74 tCO₂e to 61 tCO₂e over the same span (down 18%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 96 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 96 means the building performs better than about 96% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 96 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. 18 LANSING ST's 14.6 kBtu/ft² across 76,374 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (327 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 25.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 135,550 kWh of electricity and 6,530 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 18 LANSING ST to report its energy use?
18 LANSING 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:3749/137:2025).
