SUBJECT: 2020 Municipal Energy Benchmarking Report
Power Enterprise is pleased to present the 2020 Energy Benchmarking Report.
In 2011, the San Francisco Existing Commercial Buildings Energy Performance Ordinance was passed by the Board of Supervisors and signed by Mayor Edwin M. Lee requiring owners of non-residential buildings over 10,000 square feet to annually benchmark and disclose building energy performance. Leading by example, the City and County of San Francisco soon began to benchmark its municipal building energy use, becoming the first city on the west coast to annually measure and publish building performance data.
The 2020 reporting year continues to utilize the web based interactive dashboard that was developed last year to present the annual municipal energy use data. The dashboard provides high level trends and portfolio level summaries of energy use by fuel type, building type, and floor area, as well as emissions by fuel type. Additionally, building usage data is available at the individual building level, building type, or by City and County of San Francisco Department.
In 2020, the City and County of San Francisco faced unprecedented challenges from the global COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in a dramatic change in building energy usage across the municipal portfolio. While essential services remained open, many city venues and facilities closed for all or significant portions of the year, or substantially reduced operations. For the calendar year 2020, year-over-year EUI fell 16% and carbon intensity decreased 28%.
