Its site EUI of 4.0 kBtu/ft² is about 92% 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 0.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 92% below the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 19,520 sq ft, it is about 82% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1906, 35 years earlier 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 230 8TH ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 230 8TH ST, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 100 in both 2022 and 2024. Site EUI moved from 25.1 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 4.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 84% decrease. Reported emissions went from 37 tCO₂e to 4 tCO₂e over the same span (down 88%).
What does a site EUI of 4.0 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. 230 8TH ST's 4.0 kBtu/ft² across 19,520 sq ft works out to about 0.1 billion Btu (23 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 6.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 8,130 kWh of electricity and 508 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 230 8TH ST to report its energy use?
230 8TH 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:3729/004:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
