How does 2275 BROADWAY compare with other mixed residential buildings in San Francisco?

The latest disclosures cover 610 mixed residential buildings in San Francisco, out of 2,509 buildings citywide. 2275 BROADWAY's ENERGY STAR score of 43 compares with an average of 85 across the 340 that report a score; it scores higher than 8% of them and lower than 91%. Its site EUI of 63.7 kBtu/ft² is about 77% above the average of 36.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 71% above the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 54,660 sq ft, it is about 67% below the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1926, 40 years earlier than the group's average year built (1967).

How has 2275 BROADWAY's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 2275 BROADWAY, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 36 in 2019 to 43 in 2025 (+7 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 52. Site EUI moved from 63.9 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 63.7 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 0% decrease. Reported emissions went from 191 tCO₂e to 186 tCO₂e over the same span (down 3%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 43 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 43 means the building performs better than about 43% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 43 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 32 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. 2275 BROADWAY's 63.7 kBtu/ft² across 54,660 sq ft works out to about 3.5 billion Btu (1,020 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 79.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 111,065 kWh of electricity and 31,007 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires 2275 BROADWAY to report its energy use?

2275 BROADWAY 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:0581/014:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
