How has MACDONALD MILLER's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Seattle disclosures for MACDONALD MILLER, covering report years 2015–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 9 in 2015 to 95 in 2021 (+86 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 95. Site EUI moved from 106.7 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 31.4 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 71% decrease. Reported emissions went from 74 tCO₂e to 59 tCO₂e over the same span (down 20%).
What does a site EUI of 31.4 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. MACDONALD MILLER's 31.4 kBtu/ft² across 30,659 sq ft works out to about 1 billion Btu (282 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 48.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 126,773 kWh of electricity and 10,591 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires MACDONALD MILLER to report its energy use?
MACDONALD MILLER 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 2024 disclosure (source record seattle:23051:2024). 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.
