How does 200 California compare with other commercial buildings in San Francisco?
The latest disclosures cover 1,683 commercial buildings in San Francisco, out of 2,509 buildings citywide. 200 California's ENERGY STAR score of 17 compares with an average of 78 across the 790 that report a score; it scores higher than 3% of them and lower than 97%. Its site EUI of 70.6 kBtu/ft² is about 43% 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 3.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 44% above the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 29,540 sq ft, it is about 72% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1988, 47 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 200 California's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 200 California, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 44 in 2013 to 17 in 2025 (-27 points); its best year on file was 2015, at 74. Site EUI moved from 121.3 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 70.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 42% decrease. Reported emissions went from 190 tCO₂e to 115 tCO₂e over the same span (down 40%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 17 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 17 means the building performs better than about 17% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 17 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 58 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. 200 California's 70.6 kBtu/ft² across 29,540 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (611 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 129.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 275,635 kWh of electricity and 11,464 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 200 California to report its energy use?
200 California 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:0237/006:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
