How has 601 GRANT AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 601 GRANT AVE, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 111.3 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 79.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 29% decrease. Reported emissions went from 122 tCO₂e to 82 tCO₂e over the same span (down 33%).
What does a site EUI of 79.3 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. 601 GRANT AVE's 79.3 kBtu/ft² across 19,108 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (444 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 120.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 117,640 kWh of electricity and 11,146 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 601 GRANT AVE to report its energy use?
601 GRANT AVE 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:0242/056:2025).
