BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 500 BATTERY ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Site EUI moved from 169.2 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 86.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 49% decrease. Reported emissions went from 3,653 tCO₂e to 6,190 tCO₂e over the same span (up 69%).
What does a site EUI of 86.9 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. 500 BATTERY ST's 86.9 kBtu/ft² across 1,779,579 sq ft works out to about 154.6 billion Btu (45,322 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 122.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 6,887,369 kWh of electricity and 912,566 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 500 BATTERY ST to report its energy use?
500 BATTERY 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:0198/008:2025).
