At 50,480 sq ft, it is about 70% below the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1931, 35 years earlier than the group's average year built (1967).
How has 950 FRANKLIN's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for 950 FRANKLIN, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 83 in 2018 to 25 in 2025 (-58 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 88. Site EUI moved from 64.1 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 85.2 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 33% increase. Reported emissions went from 180 tCO₂e to 230 tCO₂e over the same span (up 28%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 25 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 25 means the building performs better than about 25% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 25 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 50 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 950 FRANKLIN's 85.2 kBtu/ft² across 50,480 sq ft works out to about 4.3 billion Btu (1,260 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 105.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 136,731 kWh of electricity and 38,361 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 950 FRANKLIN to report its energy use?
950 FRANKLIN 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:0738/020:2025).
