Annaliese

How does Annaliese compare with other multifamily housing buildings in Seattle?

The latest disclosures cover 1,971 multifamily housing buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Annaliese's ENERGY STAR score of 1 compares with an average of 83 across the 1,652 that report a score; it scores higher than 0% of them and lower than 100%. Its site EUI of 60.4 kBtu/ft² is about 73% above the average of 34.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 0.7 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 58,152 sq ft, it is about 33% below the average floor area of 86,468 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2012, 29 years later than the group's average year built (1983). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 59,945 multifamily housing buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 70 and a site EUI of 59.0 kBtu/ft².

How has Annaliese's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 2 Seattle disclosures for Annaliese, covering report years 2024–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 1 in both 2024 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 61.1 kBtu/ft² (2024) to 60.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 1% decrease. Reported emissions went from 28 tCO₂e to 28 tCO₂e over the same span (down 1%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 1 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: 1 is the bottom of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 1 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 74 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. Annaliese's 60.4 kBtu/ft² across 58,152 sq ft works out to about 3.5 billion Btu (1,029 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 169.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,396,330 kWh of electricity for the year.

Which law requires Annaliese to report its energy use?

Annaliese 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:52032:2025). 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.
