How has Pyramid Center's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for Pyramid Center, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 96 in 2011 to 75 in 2024 (-21 points); its best year on file was 2011, at 96. Site EUI moved from 130.0 kBtu/ft² (2011) to 56.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 57% decrease. Reported emissions went from 4,716 tCO₂e to 1,677 tCO₂e over the same span (down 64%).
What does a site EUI of 56.0 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. Pyramid Center's 56.0 kBtu/ft² across 650,189 sq ft works out to about 36.4 billion Btu (10,671 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 96.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 3,430,268 kWh of electricity and 189,802 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Pyramid Center to report its energy use?
Pyramid Center 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:0207/032:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
