Its emissions intensity of 7.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 159% above the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 17,311 sq ft, it is about 84% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1937, 4 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 DiMaggio Building's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for DiMaggio Building, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 308.4 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 127.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 59% decrease. Reported emissions went from 348 tCO₂e to 121 tCO₂e over the same span (down 65%).
What does a site EUI of 127.9 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. DiMaggio Building's 127.9 kBtu/ft² across 17,311 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (649 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 215.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 234,103 kWh of electricity and 14,151 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires DiMaggio Building to report its energy use?
DiMaggio Building 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:0012/007A:2025).
