How does CAMLIN WORLDMARK HOTEL compare with other hotel buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 86 hotel buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. CAMLIN WORLDMARK HOTEL's ENERGY STAR score of 10 compares with an average of 76 across the 78 that report a score; it scores higher than 1% of them and lower than 97%. Its site EUI of 104.5 kBtu/ft² is about 53% above the average of 68.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 3.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 61% above the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 83,008 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 165,912 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1926, 44 years earlier than the group's average year built (1971). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 3,812 hotel buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 77.8 kBtu/ft².
How has CAMLIN WORLDMARK HOTEL's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Seattle disclosures for CAMLIN WORLDMARK HOTEL, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 25 in 2015 to 10 in 2024 (-15 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 79. Site EUI moved from 76.9 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 104.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 36% increase. Reported emissions went from 205 tCO₂e to 267 tCO₂e over the same span (up 30%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 10 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 10 means the building performs better than about 10% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 10 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 65 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. CAMLIN WORLDMARK HOTEL's 104.5 kBtu/ft² across 83,008 sq ft works out to about 8.7 billion Btu (2,542 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 195.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,197,259 kWh of electricity and 45,918 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires CAMLIN WORLDMARK HOTEL to report its energy use?
CAMLIN WORLDMARK HOTEL 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 2024 disclosure (source record seattle:10:2024). 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.
