How does SOMA Self Storage compare with other commercial buildings in San Francisco?
The latest disclosures cover 1,683 commercial buildings in San Francisco, out of 2,509 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 2.7 kBtu/ft² is about 95% below 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 0.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 97% below the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 195,000 sq ft, it is about 82% above the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1975, 34 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 SOMA Self Storage's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for SOMA Self Storage, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 5.8 kBtu/ft² (2011) to 2.7 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 53% decrease. Reported emissions went from 102 tCO₂e to 17 tCO₂e over the same span (down 83%).
What does a site EUI of 2.7 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. SOMA Self Storage's 2.7 kBtu/ft² across 195,000 sq ft works out to about 0.5 billion Btu (154 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 5.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 88,998 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires SOMA Self Storage to report its energy use?
SOMA Self Storage 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:3510/049:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
