Brandeis Hillel Day School's ENERGY STAR score of 85 compares with an average of 78 across the 790 that report a score; it scores higher than 48% of them and lower than 50%. Its site EUI of 38.1 kBtu/ft² is about 23% 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 2.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 23% below the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 55,325 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1980, 39 years later 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 Brandeis Hillel Day School's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Brandeis Hillel Day School, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 46 in 2011 to 85 in 2025 (+39 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 90. Site EUI moved from 48.4 kBtu/ft² (2011) to 38.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 21% decrease. Reported emissions went from 167 tCO₂e to 110 tCO₂e over the same span (down 34%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 85 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 85 means the building performs better than about 85% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 85 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. Brandeis Hillel Day School's 38.1 kBtu/ft² across 55,325 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (618 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 63.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 209,711 kWh of electricity and 13,029 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Brandeis Hillel Day School to report its energy use?
Brandeis Hillel Day School 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:7380/038:2025).
