How does 2001 Plum Llc compare with other distribution center buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 38 distribution center buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. 2001 Plum Llc's ENERGY STAR score of 14 compares with an average of 62 across the 33 that report a score; it scores higher than 6% of them and lower than 91%. Its site EUI of 49.4 kBtu/ft² is about 81% above the average of 27.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 0.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 25,920 sq ft, it is about 59% below the average floor area of 62,568 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1969 construction date is close to the group's average year built (1968). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,082 distribution center buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 24.2 kBtu/ft².
How has 2001 Plum Llc's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for 2001 Plum Llc, covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 5 in 2017 to 14 in 2025 (+9 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 17. Site EUI moved from 47.9 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 49.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 3% increase. Reported emissions went from 15 tCO₂e to 15 tCO₂e over the same span (down 1%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 14 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 14 means the building performs better than about 14% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 14 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 61 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In Seattle, 69% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
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. 2001 Plum Llc's 49.4 kBtu/ft² across 25,920 sq ft works out to about 1.3 billion Btu (375 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 127.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 326,575 kWh of electricity and 1,650 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires 2001 Plum Llc to report its energy use?
2001 Plum Llc reports under the Seattle Energy Benchmarking Ordinance (SMC 22.920), the legal basis of Seattle's Building Energy Benchmarking program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2025 disclosure (source record seattle:20519:2025). Seattle's Building Emissions Performance Standard (adopted 2023) applies to buildings over 20,000 sq ft: benchmarking verification is due 2027–2030 and initial emissions targets 2031–2035, reaching net zero by 2041–2050, with fines for non-compliance.
