Sea Marine And Fish Supply Co

How does Sea Marine And Fish Supply Co compare with other non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in Seattle?

The latest disclosures cover 164 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Sea Marine And Fish Supply Co's ENERGY STAR score of 61 compares with an average of 58 across the 117 that report a score; it scores higher than 46% of them and lower than 51%. Its site EUI of 39.0 kBtu/ft² is about 28% above the average of 30.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 46% above the group average of 0.9 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 56,259 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 58,727 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1974, 14 years later than the group's average year built (1960). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,723 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 66 and a site EUI of 26.0 kBtu/ft².

How has Sea Marine And Fish Supply Co's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Sea Marine And Fish Supply Co, covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 49 in 2017 to 61 in 2025 (+12 points). Site EUI moved from 39.2 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 39.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 1% decrease. Reported emissions went from 77 tCO₂e to 74 tCO₂e over the same span (down 5%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 61 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 61 means the building performs better than about 61% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 61 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 14 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. Sea Marine And Fish Supply Co's 39.0 kBtu/ft² across 56,259 sq ft works out to about 2.2 billion Btu (643 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 66.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 238,019 kWh of electricity and 13,809 therms of natural gas for the year.

Which law requires Sea Marine And Fish Supply Co to report its energy use?

Sea Marine And Fish Supply Co 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:735:2025). 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.
