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. 201 Toland St's 307.4 kBtu/ft² across 120,000 sq ft works out to about 36.9 billion Btu (10,811 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 860.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 10,809,985 kWh of electricity and 0 therms of natural gas for the year.
