How does Biomed Fairview Research Center compare with other mixed use property buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 157 mixed use property buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 110.1 kBtu/ft² is about 60% above the average of 68.7 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.0 kgCO₂e/ft² is about twice the group average of 1.4 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 129,093 sq ft, it is about 22% below the average floor area of 165,352 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2008, 40 years later than the group's average year built (1968). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,212 mixed use property buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 69 and a site EUI of 79.8 kBtu/ft².
How has Biomed Fairview Research Center's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Biomed Fairview Research Center, covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 24 in 2015 to 5 in 2018 (-19 points); its best year on file was 2015, at 24. Site EUI moved from 139.9 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 110.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 21% decrease. Reported emissions went from 277 tCO₂e to 268 tCO₂e over the same span (down 3%).
What does a site EUI of 110.1 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. Biomed Fairview Research Center's 110.1 kBtu/ft² across 129,093 sq ft works out to about 14.2 billion Btu (4,165 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 209.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,398,190 kWh of electricity and 50,529 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Biomed Fairview Research Center to report its energy use?
Biomed Fairview Research Center 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:651:2025). 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.
