How does Centurylink Field-Stadium compare with other buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 3,871 benchmarked buildings in Seattle. Its site EUI of 40.1 kBtu/ft² is about 16% below the average of 47.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 39% below the group average of 1.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 1,913,640 sq ft, it is about 1602% above the average floor area of 112,467 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1999, 24 years later than the group's average year built (1975).
How has Centurylink Field-Stadium's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Centurylink Field-Stadium, covering report years 2015–2025. Site EUI moved from 37.8 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 40.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 6% increase. Reported emissions went from 773 tCO₂e to 974 tCO₂e over the same span (up 26%).
What does a site EUI of 40.1 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. Centurylink Field-Stadium's 40.1 kBtu/ft² across 1,913,640 sq ft works out to about 76.7 billion Btu (22,489 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 98.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 14,848,570 kWh of electricity and 130,101 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Centurylink Field-Stadium to report its energy use?
Centurylink Field-Stadium 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:245:2025). 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.
