Orchard Garden Hotel's ENERGY STAR score of 84 compares with an average of 78 across the 790 that report a score; it scores higher than 46% of them and lower than 52%. Its site EUI of 72.4 kBtu/ft² is about 47% 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 4.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 47% above the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 55,751 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2007, 66 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 Orchard Garden Hotel's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Orchard Garden Hotel, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 89 in 2012 to 84 in 2025 (-5 points); its best year on file was 2018, at 100. Site EUI moved from 48.6 kBtu/ft² (2012) to 72.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 49% increase. Reported emissions went from 231 tCO₂e to 221 tCO₂e over the same span (down 5%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 84 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 84 means the building performs better than about 84% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 84 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. Orchard Garden Hotel's 72.4 kBtu/ft² across 55,751 sq ft works out to about 4 billion Btu (1,183 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 125.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 462,333 kWh of electricity and 24,597 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Orchard Garden Hotel to report its energy use?
Orchard Garden Hotel 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:0270/042:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
