How does 2700 45TH AVE 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. Its site EUI of 26.1 kBtu/ft² is about half of 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 1.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 21,263 sq ft, it is about 80% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1974, 33 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 2700 45TH AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 2700 45TH AVE, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 76.7 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 26.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 66% decrease. Reported emissions went from 104 tCO₂e to 31 tCO₂e over the same span (down 70%).
What does a site EUI of 26.1 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. 2700 45TH AVE's 26.1 kBtu/ft² across 21,263 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (163 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 64.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 131,578 kWh of electricity and 1,066 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 2700 45TH AVE to report its energy use?
2700 45TH AVE 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:2513/026:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
