How does Curran Theater compare with other commercial buildings in San Francisco?
The latest disclosures cover 1,683 commercial buildings in San Francisco, out of 2,509 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 30.3 kBtu/ft² is about 38% 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 1.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 36% below the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 29,641 sq ft, it is about 72% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1922, 19 years earlier 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 Curran Theater's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Curran Theater, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 16.1 kBtu/ft² (2014) to 30.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 88% increase. Reported emissions went from 38 tCO₂e to 51 tCO₂e over the same span (up 34%).
What does a site EUI of 30.3 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. Curran Theater's 30.3 kBtu/ft² across 29,641 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (263 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 79.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 238,306 kWh of electricity and 864 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Curran Theater to report its energy use?
Curran Theater 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:0316/018A: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.
