How has 3101 3rd Street's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 3101 3rd Street, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2011 to 50 in 2025 (-50 points); its best year on file was 2011, at 100. Site EUI moved from 3.9 kBtu/ft² (2011) to 9.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 133% increase. Reported emissions went from 22 tCO₂e to 34 tCO₂e over the same span (up 57%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 50 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 50 means the building performs better than about 50% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 50 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 25 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. 3101 3rd Street's 9.1 kBtu/ft² across 66,000 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (176 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 25.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 170,623 kWh of electricity and 186 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 3101 3rd Street to report its energy use?
3101 3rd 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:4356/001:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
