How does Pier 45 - Shed A 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. Its site EUI of 18.6 kBtu/ft² is about 31% 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 1.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 29% below the group average of 1.5 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 85,805 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 45 - Shed A's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 14 San Francisco disclosures for Pier 45 - Shed A, covering report years 2012–2025. Site EUI moved from 8.7 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 18.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 114% increase. Reported emissions went from 54 tCO₂e to 15 tCO₂e over the same span (down 72%).
What does a site EUI of 18.6 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. Pier 45 - Shed A's 18.6 kBtu/ft² across 85,805 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (468 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 52.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 78,057 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Pier 45 - Shed A to report its energy use?
Pier 45 - Shed A 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:9900/045-A:2025).
