Its site EUI of 45.1 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with 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 2.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 13,892 sq ft, it is about 87% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1984, 43 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 300 4th Street's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 300 4th Street, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 97 in 2022 to 22 in 2025 (-75 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 97. Site EUI moved from 47.7 kBtu/ft² (2017) to 45.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 5% decrease. Reported emissions went from 56 tCO₂e to 35 tCO₂e over the same span (down 38%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 22 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 22 means the building performs better than about 22% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 22 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 53 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. 300 4th Street's 45.1 kBtu/ft² across 13,892 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (184 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 102.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 127,282 kWh of electricity and 1,922 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 300 4th Street to report its energy use?
300 4th Street 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:3752/001:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
