At 60,000 sq ft, it is about 64% below the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2008, 42 years later than the group's average year built (1967).
How has 325 CHINA BASIN ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 325 CHINA BASIN ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 12 in 2019 to 13 in 2025 (+1 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 17. Site EUI moved from 66.7 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 63.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 5% decrease. Reported emissions went from 251 tCO₂e to 211 tCO₂e over the same span (down 16%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 13 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 13 means the building performs better than about 13% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 13 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 62 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. 325 CHINA BASIN ST's 63.1 kBtu/ft² across 60,000 sq ft works out to about 3.8 billion Btu (1,110 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 133.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 678,569 kWh of electricity and 14,721 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 325 CHINA BASIN ST to report its energy use?
325 CHINA BASIN 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:8720/018:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
