How does Greenus Building compare with other mixed use property buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 157 mixed use property buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 31.8 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 68.7 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 87% below the group average of 1.4 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 24,476 sq ft, it is about 85% below the average floor area of 165,352 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1924, 44 years earlier than the group's average year built (1968). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,212 mixed use property buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 69 and a site EUI of 79.8 kBtu/ft².
How has Greenus Building's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Greenus Building, covering report years 2015–2025. Site EUI moved from 110.0 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 31.8 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 71% decrease. Reported emissions went from 88 tCO₂e to 4 tCO₂e over the same span (down 95%).
What does a site EUI of 31.8 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. Greenus Building's 31.8 kBtu/ft² across 24,476 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (228 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 89.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 222,794 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Greenus Building to report its energy use?
Greenus Building 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:26115:2025). 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.
