How does 900 Front St compare with other commercial - port facility buildings in San Francisco?
The latest disclosures cover 24 commercial - port facility buildings in San Francisco, out of 2,509 buildings citywide. 900 Front St's ENERGY STAR score of 100 compares with an average of 66 across the 15 that report a score; it scores higher than 93% of them. Its site EUI of 53.1 kBtu/ft² is about twice the average of 27.1 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 1.5 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 228,587 sq ft, it is about 144% above the average floor area of 93,631 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1973, 53 years later than the group's average year built (1920).
How has 900 Front St's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 13 San Francisco disclosures for 900 Front St, covering report years 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024, 2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 58 in 2018 to 100 in 2025 (+42 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 100. Site EUI moved from 135.4 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 53.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 61% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,637 tCO₂e to 527 tCO₂e over the same span (down 68%).
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. 900 Front St's 53.1 kBtu/ft² across 228,587 sq ft works out to about 12.1 billion Btu (3,557 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 103.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,425,752 kWh of electricity and 46,910 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 900 Front St to report its energy use?
900 Front 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:0137/001:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
