What does a site EUI of 188.5 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. Central Link Operations & Maintenance - Sound Transit's 188.5 kBtu/ft² across 162,157 sq ft works out to about 30.6 billion Btu (8,958 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 467.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 8,553,725 kWh of electricity and 65,514 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Central Link Operations & Maintenance - Sound Transit to report its energy use?
Central Link Operations & Maintenance - Sound Transit 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:48287:2025). 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.
