Green Connections aims to increase access to parks, open spaces, and the waterfront by envisioning a network of green connectors -- city streets that will be upgraded incrementally over the next 20 years to make it safer and more pleasant to travel to parks by walking, biking, and other forms of active transportation. The dataset is a zipped GIS shapefile of the Green Connections Network which is shown in this map: http://www.sf-planning.org/ftp/files/Citywide/green_connections/GC_Final_Network_Map_03-2014.pdf.

The San Francisco Healthy Nail Salon Program is a free and voluntary program open to all nail salons in the City. The goal of the Healthy Nail Salon Program is to reduce exposure of nail salon employees and residents to the toxic chemicals in nail products. The benefits of the Healthy Nail Salon Program include:

- Enhanced health and well being of staff
- Safer environment for customers
- Recognition and promotion by San Francisco’s Department of Environment
- Potential to attract new customers

The data set is a list of all certified Healthy Nail Salons recognized by San Francisco Department of the Environment.

Working with the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH), we jointly administer the beach water quality monitoring program in San Francisco. Both agencies participate in sample collection; the San Francisco Water, Power and Sewer Microbiology Laboratory performs bacteriological analyses.

Development projects that are located on sites with known or suspected soil and/or groundwater contamination are subject to the provisions of Health Code Article 22A, which is administered by the Department of Public Health (DPH). This layer shows these areas.

A. SUMMARY
San Francisco’s Existing Buildings Energy Performance Ordinance requires owners of non-residential buildings over 10,000 square feet to annually benchmark and disclose energy performance. On behalf of City agencies, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) benchmarks and reports energy use for a portfolio of approximately 500 public facilities buildings. The performance of public facilities can be examined in an interactive report at bit.ly/SFMunicipalBenchmarking, and annual reports from 2011-present are available there as well.

This dataset presents the energy performance and basic characteristics for public facilities that is visualized by the SFPUC’s interactive report.

In addition, energy performance data for non-municipal buildings (i.e. commercial buildings of 10,000 square feet or larger, and multifamily & mixed-use buildings of 50,000 square feet or larger) is available at: bit.ly/ExistingBuildingsReport

B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED
In compliance with California Energy Benchmarking Regulations (CA Public Resources Code Section 25402.10 and CCR Title 20 Section 1680), and San Francisco Existing Buildings Energy Ordinance (Environment Code Chapter 20), the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission provides energy benchmarking services on behalf of municipal facilities. Details for public facilities are compiled from city records, and energy usage is compiled from utility records; related metrics such as energy use intensity are calculated from the combination of such records. Data is subjected to quality assurance validation prior to publication. For additional information regarding data sources and assumptions, please review the "Data Sources and Assumptions" page of the Municipal Facilities Energy Benchmarking dashboard: https://bit.ly/SFMunicipalBenchmarking.

C. UPDATE PROCESS
Updated Annually.

Data updated 5/24/2021. The Existing Buildings Energy Performance Ordinance (Environment Code Chapter 20) requires that each non-residential building with at least 10,000 square feet of conditioned (heated or cooled) space and each residential building with at least 50,000 square feet of conditioned space must be benchmarked using Energy Star Portfolio Manager annually. Each non-residential building specified above is also required to undergo an energy audit or retrocommissioning at least once every 5 years.

More information: www.sfenvironment.org/ebo. This dataset lists compliance status for private-sector (non-municipal) properties where the owner has been notified a building is subject to the ordinance. Fields reported have expanded as of early October 2015 to include energy use intensity, the 1-100 Portfolio Manager rating, and estimated greenhouse gas emissions from annual energy consumption.
