How does Edgewater Inn compare with other hotel buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 86 hotel buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Edgewater Inn's ENERGY STAR score of 37 compares with an average of 76 across the 78 that report a score; it scores higher than 6% of them and lower than 92%. Its site EUI of 169.5 kBtu/ft² is about 148% 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 6.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 237% above the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 122,309 sq ft, it is about 26% below the average floor area of 165,912 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1961, 9 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 Edgewater Inn's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Edgewater Inn, covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 13 in 2015 to 37 in 2025 (+24 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 66. Site EUI moved from 196.7 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 169.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 14% decrease. Reported emissions went from 968 tCO₂e to 823 tCO₂e over the same span (down 15%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 37 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 37 means the building performs better than about 37% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 37 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 38 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. Edgewater Inn's 169.5 kBtu/ft² across 122,309 sq ft works out to about 20.7 billion Btu (6,076 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 260.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,687,477 kWh of electricity and 149,690 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Edgewater Inn to report its energy use?
Edgewater Inn 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:314:2025). 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.
