S001-San Francisco's ENERGY STAR score of 57 compares with an average of 78 across the 790 that report a score; it scores higher than 15% of them and lower than 84%. Its site EUI of 76.5 kBtu/ft² is about 55% above the average of 49.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 58% above the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 374,244 sq ft, it is about 248% above the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1976, 35 years later than the group's average year built (1941). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 2,307 commercial buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 76 and a site EUI of 51.3 kBtu/ft².

How has S001-San Francisco's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for S001-San Francisco, covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 85 in 2015 to 57 in 2025 (-28 points); its best year on file was 2015, at 85. Site EUI moved from 55.0 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 76.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 39% increase. Reported emissions went from 1,342 tCO₂e to 1,511 tCO₂e over the same span (up 13%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 57 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 57 means the building performs better than about 57% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 57 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 18 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. S001-San Francisco's 76.5 kBtu/ft² across 374,244 sq ft works out to about 28.6 billion Btu (8,391 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 169.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 5,289,180 kWh of electricity and 90,360 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires S001-San Francisco to report its energy use?

S001-San Francisco 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:3701/065:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
