How does Hotel Kabuki 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. Hotel Kabuki's ENERGY STAR score of 71 compares with an average of 78 across the 790 that report a score; it scores higher than 27% of them and lower than 73%. Its site EUI of 92.2 kBtu/ft² is about 87% above the average of 49.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 5.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 86% above the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 227,500 sq ft, it is about twice the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1968, 27 years later 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 Hotel Kabuki's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Hotel Kabuki, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 30 in 2013 to 71 in 2025 (+41 points). Site EUI moved from 111.0 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 92.2 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 17% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,621 tCO₂e to 1,103 tCO₂e over the same span (down 32%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 71 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 71 means the building performs better than about 71% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 71 falls in band B — above median (70–84). It sits 4 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. Hotel Kabuki's 92.2 kBtu/ft² across 227,500 sq ft works out to about 21 billion Btu (6,147 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 147.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,884,397 kWh of electricity and 138,465 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Hotel Kabuki to report its energy use?
Hotel Kabuki 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:0700/018:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
