Its site EUI of 12.0 kBtu/ft² is about 67% below the average of 36.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 67% below the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 197,325 sq ft, it is about 19% above the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1979, 13 years later than the group's average year built (1967).
How has 2790 19TH AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 2790 19TH AVE, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 100 in both 2022 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 13.3 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 12.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 10% decrease. Reported emissions went from 163 tCO₂e to 133 tCO₂e over the same span (down 18%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. 2790 19TH AVE's 12.0 kBtu/ft² across 197,325 sq ft works out to about 2.4 billion Btu (694 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 26.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 465,887 kWh of electricity and 7,874 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 2790 19TH AVE to report its energy use?
2790 19TH 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:2540/009:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
