Its site EUI of 19.6 kBtu/ft² is about 60% 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 1.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 11,180 sq ft, it is about 90% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1918, 23 years earlier 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 86 GOLDEN GATE AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 86 GOLDEN GATE AVE, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 39.3 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 19.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 50% decrease. Reported emissions went from 33 tCO₂e to 14 tCO₂e over the same span (down 59%).
What does a site EUI of 19.6 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. 86 GOLDEN GATE AVE's 19.6 kBtu/ft² across 11,180 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (64 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 37.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 27,470 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires 86 GOLDEN GATE AVE to report its energy use?
86 GOLDEN GATE 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:0343/010:2025).
