How does 555 Mission 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. 555 Mission's ENERGY STAR score of 93 compares with an average of 78 across the 790 that report a score; it scores higher than 68% of them and lower than 29%. Its site EUI of 34.9 kBtu/ft² is about 29% below the average of 49.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 28% below the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 639,382 sq ft, it is about 495% above the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2008, 67 years later 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 555 Mission's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 555 Mission, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 93 in both 2011 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 47.7 kBtu/ft² (2011) to 34.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 27% decrease. Reported emissions went from 2,117 tCO₂e to 1,118 tCO₂e over the same span (down 47%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 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. 555 Mission's 34.9 kBtu/ft² across 639,382 sq ft works out to about 22.3 billion Btu (6,540 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 79.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 4,106,609 kWh of electricity and 59,609 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 555 Mission to report its energy use?
555 Mission 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:3721/120:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
