How has Market Center (575)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Market Center (575), covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 85 in 2011 to 88 in 2025 (+3 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 95. Site EUI moved from 63.3 kBtu/ft² (2011) to 29.7 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 53% decrease. Reported emissions went from 3,081 tCO₂e to 1,023 tCO₂e over the same span (down 67%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 means the building performs better than about 88% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 88 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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. Market Center (575)'s 29.7 kBtu/ft² across 560,325 sq ft works out to about 16.6 billion Btu (4,877 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 61.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,630,405 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Market Center (575) to report its energy use?
Market Center (575) 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:3708/175:2025).
