How has Orpheum Theater's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Orpheum Theater, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 69.1 kBtu/ft² (2013) to 32.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 53% decrease. Reported emissions went from 327 tCO₂e to 116 tCO₂e over the same span (down 65%).
What does a site EUI of 32.4 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. Orpheum Theater's 32.4 kBtu/ft² across 62,534 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (594 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 90.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 593,347 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Orpheum Theater to report its energy use?
Orpheum Theater 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:0351/022:2025).
