How does The Olympic 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 101.1 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 5.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 2.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 259,424 sq ft, it is about 142% above the average floor area of 107,408 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1912, 29 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 Olympic Club's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 15 San Francisco disclosures for The Olympic Club, covering report years 2011–2025. Site EUI moved from 104.8 kBtu/ft² (2011) to 101.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 4% decrease. Reported emissions went from 2,034 tCO₂e to 1,449 tCO₂e over the same span (down 29%).
What does a site EUI of 101.1 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 Olympic Club's 101.1 kBtu/ft² across 259,424 sq ft works out to about 26.2 billion Btu (7,687 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 200.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 4,080,326 kWh of electricity and 123,064 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires The Olympic Club to report its energy use?
The Olympic 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:0297/005:2025). San Francisco's ordinance requires annual benchmarking for commercial buildings over 10,000 sq ft, with administrative penalties for buildings that fail to report.
