How does Arttech & Fine Art Framing compare with other other buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 45 other buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 28.6 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 59.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 1.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 23,000 sq ft, it is about 59% below the average floor area of 55,708 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1946, 6 years earlier than the group's average year built (1952). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,327 other buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 60 and a site EUI of 63.3 kBtu/ft².
How has Arttech & Fine Art Framing's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Arttech & Fine Art Framing, covering report years 2015–2025. Site EUI moved from 27.4 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 28.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 4% increase. Reported emissions went from 21 tCO₂e to 28 tCO₂e over the same span (up 34%).
What does a site EUI of 28.6 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. Arttech & Fine Art Framing's 28.6 kBtu/ft² across 23,000 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (193 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 40.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 38,670 kWh of electricity and 5,265 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Arttech & Fine Art Framing to report its energy use?
Arttech & Fine Art Framing 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:19746:2025). 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.
