How has Fhcrc - Fairview Bldg.'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Fhcrc - Fairview Bldg., covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 1 in 2015 to 2 in 2025 (+1 points). Site EUI moved from 194.5 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 137.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 29% decrease. Reported emissions went from 60 tCO₂e to 36 tCO₂e over the same span (down 41%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 2 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 2 means the building performs better than about 2% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 2 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 73 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. Fhcrc - Fairview Bldg.'s 137.6 kBtu/ft² across 37,740 sq ft works out to about 5.2 billion Btu (1,522 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 379.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,474,684 kWh of electricity and 1,241 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Fhcrc - Fairview Bldg. to report its energy use?
Fhcrc - Fairview Bldg. 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:21413:2025). 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.
