At 73,723 sq ft, it is about 55% below the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1971, 5 years later than the group's average year built (1967).
How has 780 FULTON ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 780 FULTON ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 99 in 2024 to 98 in 2025 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 99. Site EUI moved from 30.1 kBtu/ft² (2024) to 31.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 3% increase. Reported emissions went from 120 tCO₂e to 124 tCO₂e over the same span (up 3%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 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. 780 FULTON ST's 31.1 kBtu/ft² across 73,723 sq ft works out to about 2.3 billion Btu (672 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 45.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 163,552 kWh of electricity and 17,315 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 780 FULTON ST to report its energy use?
780 FULTON 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:0781/033:2025).
