How does Pier 33 Shed compare with other commercial - port facility buildings in San Francisco?
The latest disclosures cover 24 commercial - port facility buildings in San Francisco, out of 2,509 buildings citywide. Pier 33 Shed's ENERGY STAR score of 69 compares with an average of 66 across the 15 that report a score; it scores higher than 33% of them and lower than 60%. Its site EUI of 7.5 kBtu/ft² is about 72% below the average of 27.1 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 71% below the group average of 1.5 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 89,728 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 93,631 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1900, 20 years earlier than the group's average year built (1920).
How has Pier 33 Shed's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Pier 33 Shed, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 94 in 2011 to 69 in 2025 (-25 points); its best year on file was 2012, at 99. Site EUI moved from 5.2 kBtu/ft² (2011) to 7.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 44% increase. Reported emissions went from 41 tCO₂e to 38 tCO₂e over the same span (down 6%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 69 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 69 means the building performs better than about 69% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 69 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 6 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. Pier 33 Shed's 7.5 kBtu/ft² across 89,728 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (197 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 21.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 196,878 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Pier 33 Shed to report its energy use?
Pier 33 Shed 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:9900/033:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
