Its site EUI of 40.3 kBtu/ft² is about 12% above the average of 36.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 10% above the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 107,012 sq ft, it is about 35% below the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2022, 56 years later than the group's average year built (1967).
How has 500 TURK ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 San Francisco disclosures for 500 TURK ST, covering report years 2023–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 86 in both 2024 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 41.4 kBtu/ft² (2024) to 40.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 3% decrease. Reported emissions went from 260 tCO₂e to 237 tCO₂e over the same span (down 9%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 86 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 86 means the building performs better than about 86% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 86 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. 500 TURK ST's 40.3 kBtu/ft² across 107,012 sq ft works out to about 4.3 billion Btu (1,264 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 73.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 550,150 kWh of electricity and 24,359 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 500 TURK ST to report its energy use?
500 TURK 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:0741/002:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
