Eastlake Center (North)'s ENERGY STAR score of 83 compares with an average of 76 across the 378 that report a score; it scores higher than 49% of them and lower than 49%. Its site EUI of 36.0 kBtu/ft² is about 20% below the average of 44.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 70% below the group average of 0.7 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 61,493 sq ft, it is about 69% below the average floor area of 196,452 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1985, 20 years later than the group's average year built (1965). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².
How has Eastlake Center (North)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Eastlake Center (North), covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 61 in 2015 to 83 in 2025 (+22 points). Site EUI moved from 58.0 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 36.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 38% decrease. Reported emissions went from 28 tCO₂e to 8 tCO₂e over the same span (down 69%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 83 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 83 means the building performs better than about 83% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 83 falls in band B — above median (70–84). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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. Eastlake Center (North)'s 36.0 kBtu/ft² across 61,493 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (649 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 100.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 434,127 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Eastlake Center (North) to report its energy use?
Eastlake Center (North) 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:20836:2025). 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.
