How has ARE 455 Mission Bay's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for ARE 455 Mission Bay, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 205.9 kBtu/ft² (2011) to 212.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 3% increase. Reported emissions went from 3,150 tCO₂e to 2,548 tCO₂e over the same span (down 19%).
What does a site EUI of 212.1 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. ARE 455 Mission Bay's 212.1 kBtu/ft² across 219,588 sq ft works out to about 46.6 billion Btu (13,650 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 368.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 5,361,326 kWh of electricity and 282,847 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires ARE 455 Mission Bay to report its energy use?
ARE 455 Mission Bay 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:8721/032:2025).
