Its site EUI of 76.0 kBtu/ft² is about twice the average of 36.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 123,322 sq ft, it is about 26% below the average floor area of 165,572 sq ft for those buildings.
How has Ping Yuen North's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for Ping Yuen North, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 86 in both 2018 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 62.1 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 76.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 22% increase. Reported emissions went from 438 tCO₂e to 502 tCO₂e over the same span (up 14%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 86 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 86 means the building performs better than about 86% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 86 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. Ping Yuen North's 76.0 kBtu/ft² across 123,322 sq ft works out to about 9.4 billion Btu (2,747 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 93.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 279,688 kWh of electricity and 84,160 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Ping Yuen North to report its energy use?
Ping Yuen North 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:0160/030:2025).
