How has 46 GEARY ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 46 GEARY ST, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 41.8 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 9.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 77% decrease. Reported emissions went from 63 tCO₂e to 10 tCO₂e over the same span (down 84%).
What does a site EUI of 9.5 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. 46 GEARY ST's 9.5 kBtu/ft² across 18,000 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (50 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 26.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 50,330 kWh of electricity and 0 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 46 GEARY ST to report its energy use?
46 GEARY 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.
