How does Commodore compare with other non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 164 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Commodore's ENERGY STAR score of 1 compares with an average of 58 across the 117 that report a score; it scores higher than 0% of them and lower than 97%. Its site EUI of 24.7 kBtu/ft² is about 19% below the average of 30.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 25,600 sq ft, it is about 56% below the average floor area of 58,727 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1974, 14 years later than the group's average year built (1960). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,723 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 66 and a site EUI of 26.0 kBtu/ft².
How has Commodore's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Commodore, covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score was 1 in both 2015 and 2025. Site EUI moved from 63.7 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 24.7 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 61% decrease. Reported emissions went from 33 tCO₂e to 18 tCO₂e over the same span (down 45%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 1 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: 1 is the bottom of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 1 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 74 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. Commodore's 24.7 kBtu/ft² across 25,600 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (185 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 62.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 367,503 kWh of electricity and 2,136 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Commodore to report its energy use?
Commodore 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:22502:2025). 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.
