Its site EUI of 12.8 kBtu/ft² is about 64% below the average of 36.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 65% below the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 453,109 sq ft, it is about 174% above the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2001, 35 years later than the group's average year built (1967).
How has 855 FOLSOM ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 855 FOLSOM ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 100 in both 2022 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 14.5 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 12.8 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 12% decrease. Reported emissions went from 413 tCO₂e to 322 tCO₂e over the same span (down 22%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. 855 FOLSOM ST's 12.8 kBtu/ft² across 453,109 sq ft works out to about 5.8 billion Btu (1,700 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 26.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,019,153 kWh of electricity and 23,269 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 855 FOLSOM ST to report its energy use?
855 FOLSOM 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:3752/192:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
