How has Chelsea Motor Inn's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Chelsea Motor Inn, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 25 in 2013 to 75 in 2025 (+50 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 91. Site EUI moved from 95.3 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 53.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 44% decrease. Reported emissions went from 140 tCO₂e to 63 tCO₂e over the same span (down 55%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. Chelsea Motor Inn's 53.1 kBtu/ft² across 21,600 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (336 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 95.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 142,685 kWh of electricity and 6,611 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Chelsea Motor Inn to report its energy use?
Chelsea Motor Inn 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:0509/009A: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.
