SF - 211 Main St.'s ENERGY STAR score of 92 compares with an average of 78 across the 790 that report a score; it scores higher than 65% of them and lower than 32%. Its site EUI of 26.9 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 49.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 44% below the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 450,536 sq ft, it is about 319% above the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1973, 32 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 SF - 211 Main St.'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for SF - 211 Main St., covering report years 2011–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 81 in 2011 to 92 in 2025 (+11 points); its best year on file was 2016, at 94. Site EUI moved from 77.4 kBtu/ft² (2011) to 26.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 65% decrease. Reported emissions went from 2,581 tCO₂e to 630 tCO₂e over the same span (down 76%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 means the building performs better than about 92% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 92 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. SF - 211 Main St.'s 26.9 kBtu/ft² across 450,536 sq ft works out to about 12.1 billion Btu (3,552 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 58.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,101,332 kWh of electricity and 41,477 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires SF - 211 Main St. to report its energy use?
SF - 211 Main St. 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:3740/033:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
