Its site EUI of 11.9 kBtu/ft² is about 76% 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 0.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 75% below the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 25,170 sq ft, it is about 77% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1908, 33 years earlier than the group's average year built (1941).

How has Grant Avenue's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Grant Avenue, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 17.1 kBtu/ft² (2012) to 11.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 30% decrease. Reported emissions went from 39 tCO₂e to 17 tCO₂e over the same span (down 56%).
What does a site EUI of 11.9 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. Grant Avenue's 11.9 kBtu/ft² across 25,170 sq ft works out to about 0.3 billion Btu (88 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 33.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 87,647 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Grant Avenue to report its energy use?
Grant Avenue 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:0293/008:2025).
