Its ENERGY STAR score went from 57 in 2019 to 42 in 2025 (-15 points); its best year on file was 2019, at 57. Site EUI moved from 46.7 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 50.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 8% increase. Reported emissions went from 62 tCO₂e to 61 tCO₂e over the same span (down 2%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 42 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 42 means the building performs better than about 42% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 42 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 33 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. Santos Place Apt's 50.6 kBtu/ft² across 45,760 sq ft works out to about 2.3 billion Btu (679 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 89.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 236,007 kWh of electricity and 11,297 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Santos Place Apt to report its energy use?
Santos Place Apt 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.
