How does Even Hotels & Staybridge Suites compare with other hotel buildings in Seattle?

The latest disclosures cover 86 hotel buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Even Hotels & Staybridge Suites's ENERGY STAR score of 87 compares with an average of 76 across the 78 that report a score; it scores higher than 55% of them and lower than 41%. Its site EUI of 63.5 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 68.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 170,885 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 165,912 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2018, 48 years later 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 Even Hotels & Staybridge Suites's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 7 Seattle disclosures for Even Hotels & Staybridge Suites, covering report years 2019–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 99 in 2019 to 87 in 2025 (-12 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 100. Site EUI moved from 26.7 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 63.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 138% increase. Reported emissions went from 23 tCO₂e to 228 tCO₂e over the same span (up 890%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 87 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 87 means the building performs better than about 87% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 87 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. Even Hotels & Staybridge Suites's 63.5 kBtu/ft² across 170,885 sq ft works out to about 10.9 billion Btu (3,180 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 120.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,100,558 kWh of electricity and 40,318 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Even Hotels & Staybridge Suites to report its energy use?

Even Hotels & Staybridge Suites 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:50540:2025). 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.
