How does The Family Club 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 106.7 kBtu/ft² is about twice 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 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 12,092 sq ft, it is about 89% below the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1909, 32 years earlier 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 The Family Club's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for The Family Club, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 93.9 kBtu/ft² (2014) to 106.7 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 14% increase. Reported emissions went from 108 tCO₂e to 71 tCO₂e over the same span (down 35%).
What does a site EUI of 106.7 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. The Family Club's 106.7 kBtu/ft² across 12,092 sq ft works out to about 1.3 billion Btu (378 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 184.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 146,486 kWh of electricity and 7,899 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires The Family Club to report its energy use?
The Family Club 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:0284/001:2025).
