Its site EUI of 55.2 kBtu/ft² is about 25% above the average of 44.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 69% above the group average of 1.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 123,000 sq ft, it is about 84% above the average floor area of 66,769 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1966, 10 years earlier than the group's average year built (1976). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 2,372 manufacturing/industrial plant buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 67 and a site EUI of 126.3 kBtu/ft².
How has Norfolk Industrial (KG)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Norfolk Industrial (KG), covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 55 in 2015 to 10 in 2024 (-45 points); its best year on file was 2015, at 55. Site EUI moved from 19.3 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 55.2 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 186% increase. Reported emissions went from 15 tCO₂e to 237 tCO₂e over the same span (up 1450%).
What does a site EUI of 55.2 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. Norfolk Industrial (KG)'s 55.2 kBtu/ft² across 123,000 sq ft works out to about 6.8 billion Btu (1,990 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 95.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 795,261 kWh of electricity and 43,283 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Norfolk Industrial (KG) to report its energy use?
Norfolk Industrial (KG) 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:821:2025). 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.
