Compliance context
Seattle Energy Benchmarking Ordinance (SMC 22.920)
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.

How does Hotel 1000 compare with other hotel buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 86 hotel buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Hotel 1000's ENERGY STAR score of 63 compares with an average of 76 across the 78 that report a score; it scores higher than 21% of them and lower than 74%. Its site EUI of 76.4 kBtu/ft² is about 12% 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 2.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 16% above the group average of 2.0 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 392,552 sq ft, it is about 137% above the average floor area of 165,912 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2006, 36 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 Hotel 1000's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Hotel 1000, covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 7 in 2015 to 63 in 2025 (+56 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 89. Site EUI moved from 129.9 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 76.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 41% decrease. Reported emissions went from 818 tCO₂e to 565 tCO₂e over the same span (down 31%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 63 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 63 means the building performs better than about 63% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 63 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 12 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. Hotel 1000's 76.4 kBtu/ft² across 392,552 sq ft works out to about 30 billion Btu (8,789 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 144.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,620,606 kWh of electricity and 97,744 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Hotel 1000 to report its energy use?
Hotel 1000 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:27673:2025). 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.
