How has Ridgeview Terrace Affordable Housing's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 San Francisco disclosures for Ridgeview Terrace Affordable Housing, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 85 in 2019 to 91 in 2025 (+6 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 91. Site EUI moved from 43.4 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 40.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 7% decrease. Reported emissions went from 228 tCO₂e to 198 tCO₂e over the same span (down 13%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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. Ridgeview Terrace Affordable Housing's 40.3 kBtu/ft² across 90,876 sq ft works out to about 3.7 billion Btu (1,073 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 61.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 288,055 kWh of electricity and 26,789 therms of natural gas for the year.
