How does SALMON BAY WATERWAY compare with other manufacturing/industrial plant buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 14 manufacturing/industrial plant buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 17.8 kBtu/ft² is about 60% below the average of 44.0 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 79% below the group average of 1.1 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 132,754 sq ft, it is about twice the average floor area of 66,769 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1978 construction date is close to 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 SALMON BAY WATERWAY's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Seattle disclosures for SALMON BAY WATERWAY, covering report years 2015–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score was 1 in both 2015 and 2017. Site EUI moved from 207.7 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 17.8 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 91% decrease. Reported emissions went from 330 tCO₂e to 30 tCO₂e over the same span (down 91%).
What does a site EUI of 17.8 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. SALMON BAY WATERWAY's 17.8 kBtu/ft² across 132,754 sq ft works out to about 2.4 billion Btu (693 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 43.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 429,952 kWh of electricity and 4,137 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires SALMON BAY WATERWAY to report its energy use?
SALMON BAY WATERWAY 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 2023 disclosure (source record seattle:696:2023). 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.
