333 Bryant

How does 333 Bryant 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. 333 Bryant's ENERGY STAR score of 70 compares with an average of 78 across the 790 that report a score; it scores higher than 25% of them and lower than 73%. Its site EUI of 58.6 kBtu/ft² is about 19% above the average of 49.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 20% above the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 117,200 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1920, 21 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 333 Bryant's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 333 Bryant, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 57 in 2011 to 70 in 2025 (+13 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 78. Site EUI moved from 89.4 kBtu/ft² (2011) to 58.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 34% decrease. Reported emissions went from 617 tCO₂e to 323 tCO₂e over the same span (down 48%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 70 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 70 means the building performs better than about 70% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 70 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 5 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. 333 Bryant's 58.6 kBtu/ft² across 117,200 sq ft works out to about 6.9 billion Btu (2,013 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 113.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 864,073 kWh of electricity and 29,147 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires 333 Bryant to report its energy use?

333 Bryant 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:3774/008:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
