Its emissions intensity of 1.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 42% below the group average of 2.5 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 267,335 sq ft, it is about 27% below the average floor area of 368,027 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1996, 4 years earlier than the group's average year built (2000). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,071 parking buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 67 and a site EUI of 40.3 kBtu/ft².
How has Meridian Center East's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Meridian Center East, covering report years 2015–2025. Site EUI moved from 79.9 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 85.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 7% increase. Reported emissions went from 144 tCO₂e to 146 tCO₂e over the same span (up 1%).
What does a site EUI of 85.1 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. Meridian Center East's 85.1 kBtu/ft² across 267,335 sq ft works out to about 22.8 billion Btu (6,667 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 201.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,886,821 kWh of electricity and 21,017 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Meridian Center East to report its energy use?
Meridian Center East 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:421:2025). 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.
