Jewish Community Federation's ENERGY STAR score of 60 compares with an average of 78 across the 790 that report a score; it scores higher than 17% of them and lower than 82%. Its site EUI of 39.1 kBtu/ft² is about 21% 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 2.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 17% below the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 44,107 sq ft, it is about 59% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1984, 43 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 Jewish Community Federation's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Jewish Community Federation, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 84 in 2012 to 60 in 2025 (-24 points); its best year on file was 2012, at 84. Site EUI moved from 49.8 kBtu/ft² (2012) to 39.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 21% decrease. Reported emissions went from 202 tCO₂e to 99 tCO₂e over the same span (down 51%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 60 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 60 means the building performs better than about 60% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 60 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 15 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. Jewish Community Federation's 39.1 kBtu/ft² across 44,107 sq ft works out to about 1.7 billion Btu (505 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 109.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 505,651 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Jewish Community Federation to report its energy use?
Jewish Community Federation 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:3715/003:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
