How has Heartwood (Distribution Warehouse)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 5 Seattle disclosures for Heartwood (Distribution Warehouse), covering report years 2021–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 66 in 2021 to 92 in 2023 (+26 points); its best year on file was 2022, at 98. Site EUI moved from 32.5 kBtu/ft² (2021) to 14.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 56% decrease. Reported emissions went from 45 tCO₂e to 21 tCO₂e over the same span (down 53%).
What does a site EUI of 14.3 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. Heartwood (Distribution Warehouse)'s 14.3 kBtu/ft² across 31,604 sq ft works out to about 0.5 billion Btu (132 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 20.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 33,713 kWh of electricity and 3,996 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Heartwood (Distribution Warehouse) to report its energy use?
Heartwood (Distribution Warehouse) 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:27136:2025). 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.
