Queen Anne Manor

How does Queen Anne Manor compare with other senior living community buildings in Seattle?

The latest disclosures cover 48 senior living community buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Queen Anne Manor's ENERGY STAR score of 67 compares with an average of 72 across the 40 that report a score; it scores higher than 33% of them and lower than 65%. Its site EUI of 56.0 kBtu/ft² is about 16% below the average of 66.7 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 44% below the group average of 1.7 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 61,802 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 136,458 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1910, 81 years earlier than the group's average year built (1991). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,181 senior living community buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 71 and a site EUI of 73.6 kBtu/ft².

How has Queen Anne Manor's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Queen Anne Manor, covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 62 in 2015 to 67 in 2025 (+5 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 72. Site EUI moved from 62.1 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 56.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 10% decrease. Reported emissions went from 67 tCO₂e to 59 tCO₂e over the same span (down 13%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 67 mean?

ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 67 means the building performs better than about 67% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 67 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 8 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In Seattle, 69% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.

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. Queen Anne Manor's 56.0 kBtu/ft² across 61,802 sq ft works out to about 3.5 billion Btu (1,014 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 132.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 765,238 kWh of electricity and 8,490 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Queen Anne Manor to report its energy use?

Queen Anne Manor 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:19956:2025). 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.
