How does 2055 FOLSOM ST 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. 2055 FOLSOM ST's ENERGY STAR score of 95 compares with an average of 78 across the 790 that report a score; it scores higher than 73% of them and lower than 24%. Its site EUI of 17.4 kBtu/ft² is about 65% below the average of 49.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 63% below the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 67,691 sq ft, it is about 37% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1980, 39 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 2055 FOLSOM ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 2055 FOLSOM ST, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 94 in 2013 to 95 in 2025 (+1 points); its best year on file was 2017, at 99. Site EUI moved from 28.8 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 17.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 40% decrease. Reported emissions went from 44 tCO₂e to 34 tCO₂e over the same span (down 24%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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. 2055 FOLSOM ST's 17.4 kBtu/ft² across 67,691 sq ft works out to about 1.2 billion Btu (345 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 44.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 149,397 kWh of electricity and 877 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 2055 FOLSOM ST to report its energy use?
2055 FOLSOM 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:3572/024:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
