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.

This data set includes monthly utility consumption separated between tenant owned and commission owned (City of SF owned) end uses. The utilities analyzed are natural gas, electricity and water.

A. SUMMARY
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 annually using Energy Star Portfolio Manager. Each non-residential building specified above is also required to undergo an energy audit, retrocommissioning, or develop a plan for decarbonization at least once every 5 years.

B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED
The data is sourced from the benchmark and energy audit reports submitted for compliance with Environment Code Chapter 20. The dataset is presented in two tables which together provide basic characteristics, compliance status, and a public record of reported energy performance.

C. UPDATE PROCESS
This dataset will be updated on a monthly basis.

D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET
Existing Buildings - Basic Info and Audit Compliance Status -- This filtered view contains one record per building and provides basic characteristics (such as size and vintage). For commercial buildings, the table indicates when an energy audit or decarbonization plan is due.

Existing Buildings - Benchmark Reports -- Each row of this filtered view presents one year of benchmarking data for one building – so there are multiple records per building. One year of data includes compliance status, and if the building complied it also presents energy use data including gas, electricity, steam and EPA-estimated operational carbon emissions.

This dataset contains the information of the two views joined on Parcel Number.
