How does 3220 SACRAMENTO ST 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. 3220 SACRAMENTO ST's ENERGY STAR score of 89 compares with an average of 78 across the 790 that report a score; it scores higher than 58% of them and lower than 39%. Its site EUI of 22.6 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 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 17,805 sq ft, it is about 83% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1924, 17 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 3220 SACRAMENTO ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 3220 SACRAMENTO ST, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 93 in 2013 to 89 in 2025 (-4 points); its best year on file was 2016, at 99. Site EUI moved from 32.2 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 22.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 30% decrease. Reported emissions went from 40 tCO₂e to 22 tCO₂e over the same span (down 45%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 89 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 89 means the building performs better than about 89% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 89 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. 3220 SACRAMENTO ST's 22.6 kBtu/ft² across 17,805 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (118 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 44.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 61,652 kWh of electricity and 1,915 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 3220 SACRAMENTO ST to report its energy use?
3220 SACRAMENTO ST 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:1007/008:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
