How has 969 MARKET ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for 969 MARKET ST, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 24.3 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 7.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 67% decrease. Reported emissions went from 46 tCO₂e to 11 tCO₂e over the same span (down 75%).
What does a site EUI of 7.9 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. 969 MARKET ST's 7.9 kBtu/ft² across 27,037 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (63 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 20.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 49,803 kWh of electricity and 299 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 969 MARKET ST to report its energy use?
