Its ENERGY STAR score went from 24 in 2017 to 55 in 2025 (+31 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 62. Site EUI moved from 112.3 kBtu/ft² (2017) to 80.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 28% decrease. Reported emissions went from 79 tCO₂e to 48 tCO₂e over the same span (down 40%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 55 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 55 means the building performs better than about 55% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 55 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 20 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. 1975 MARKET ST's 80.9 kBtu/ft² across 10,500 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (249 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 198.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 198,672 kWh of electricity and 1,719 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 1975 MARKET ST to report its energy use?
1975 MARKET 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:3534/057:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
