How has New American Condo's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for New American Condo, covering report years 2015–2025. Site EUI moved from 36.7 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 68.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 86% increase. Reported emissions went from 33 tCO₂e to 43 tCO₂e over the same span (up 31%).
What does a site EUI of 68.3 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. New American Condo's 68.3 kBtu/ft² across 30,210 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (605 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 155.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 453,497 kWh of electricity and 6,480 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires New American Condo to report its energy use?
New American Condo 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.
