How has Pier 57 Bay Pavilion's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Pier 57 Bay Pavilion, covering report years 2015–2025. Site EUI moved from 245.2 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 413.7 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 69% increase. Reported emissions went from 548 tCO₂e to 615 tCO₂e over the same span (up 12%).
What does a site EUI of 413.7 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. Pier 57 Bay Pavilion's 413.7 kBtu/ft² across 43,728 sq ft works out to about 18.1 billion Btu (5,302 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 723.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,118,952 kWh of electricity and 108,593 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Pier 57 Bay Pavilion to report its energy use?
Pier 57 Bay Pavilion 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:23854:2025). 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.
