How has 208 LAKE MERCED BLVD's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 208 LAKE MERCED BLVD, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 30 in both 2024 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 17.7 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 112.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 536% increase. Reported emissions went from 2 tCO₂e to 114 tCO₂e over the same span (up 7010%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 30 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 30 means the building performs better than about 30% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 30 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 45 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. 208 LAKE MERCED BLVD's 112.5 kBtu/ft² across 17,706 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (584 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 313.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 579,061 kWh of electricity and 156 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 208 LAKE MERCED BLVD to report its energy use?
208 LAKE MERCED BLVD 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:7381/161:2025).
