Its site EUI of 21.4 kBtu/ft² is about 57% 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 1.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 55% below the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 29,064 sq ft, it is about 73% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1933, 8 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 30 Hotaling Place's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 30 Hotaling Place, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 75 in 2013 to 92 in 2025 (+17 points); its best year on file was 2017, at 95. Site EUI moved from 53.7 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 21.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 60% decrease. Reported emissions went from 110 tCO₂e to 35 tCO₂e over the same span (down 68%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 means the building performs better than about 92% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 92 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. 30 Hotaling Place's 21.4 kBtu/ft² across 29,064 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (182 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 55.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 158,845 kWh of electricity and 800 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 30 Hotaling Place to report its energy use?
30 Hotaling Place 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:0196/025:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
