How has North Beach Place's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for North Beach Place, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 91 in 2022 to 85 in 2025 (-6 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 91. Site EUI moved from 31.3 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 39.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 27% increase. Reported emissions went from 695 tCO₂e to 771 tCO₂e over the same span (up 11%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 85 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 85 means the building performs better than about 85% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 85 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. North Beach Place's 39.9 kBtu/ft² across 351,326 sq ft works out to about 14 billion Btu (4,108 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 75.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,003,644 kWh of electricity and 71,647 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires North Beach Place to report its energy use?
North Beach Place 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:0042/022:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
