How does Pier 50 - Shed A, B, and D 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 50 - Shed A, B, and D's ENERGY STAR score of 2 compares with an average of 66 across the 15 that report a score; it scores higher than 0% of them and lower than 93%. Its site EUI of 30.1 kBtu/ft² is about 11% above the average of 27.1 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 14% above the group average of 1.5 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 108,431 sq ft, it is about 16% above 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 50 - Shed A, B, and D's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Pier 50 - Shed A, B, and D, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 2 in both 2014 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 34.0 kBtu/ft² (2014) to 30.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 11% decrease. Reported emissions went from 294 tCO₂e to 186 tCO₂e over the same span (down 37%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 2 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 2 means the building performs better than about 2% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 2 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 73 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 50 - Shed A, B, and D's 30.1 kBtu/ft² across 108,431 sq ft works out to about 3.3 billion Btu (957 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 81.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 899,950 kWh of electricity and 1,961 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Pier 50 - Shed A, B, and D to report its energy use?
Pier 50 - Shed A, B, and D 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:9900/050:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
