At 63,922 sq ft, it is about 67% below the average floor area of 191,699 sq ft for those buildings. Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 238 multifamily buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 86 and a site EUI of 34.8 kBtu/ft².
How has CA009_Building 965's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 6 San Francisco disclosures for CA009_Building 965, covering report years 2020–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 59 in 2023 to 57 in 2025 (-2 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 96. Site EUI moved from 51.2 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 73.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 43% increase. Reported emissions went from 184 tCO₂e to 259 tCO₂e over the same span (up 41%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 57 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 57 means the building performs better than about 57% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 57 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 18 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. CA009_Building 965's 73.0 kBtu/ft² across 63,922 sq ft works out to about 4.7 billion Btu (1,368 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 151.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 797,408 kWh of electricity and 19,456 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires CA009_Building 965 to report its energy use?
CA009_Building 965 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:0300/026-B:2025).
