How has C&W GMIC 720 Market's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for C&W GMIC 720 Market, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 88 in both 2012 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 47.6 kBtu/ft² (2012) to 49.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 4% increase. Reported emissions went from 156 tCO₂e to 117 tCO₂e over the same span (down 25%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 means the building performs better than about 88% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 88 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. C&W GMIC 720 Market's 49.5 kBtu/ft² across 42,890 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (622 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 91.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 280,294 kWh of electricity and 11,680 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires C&W GMIC 720 Market to report its energy use?
C&W GMIC 720 Market 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:0312/004:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
