At 70,292 sq ft, it is about 37% below the average floor area of 112,467 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2008, 33 years later than the group's average year built (1975).
How has Seattle Children's Building- Education Facility's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Seattle disclosures for Seattle Children's Building- Education Facility, covering report years 2018–2025. Site EUI moved from 36.1 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 36.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 1% increase. Reported emissions went from 56 tCO₂e to 42 tCO₂e over the same span (down 25%).
What does a site EUI of 36.4 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. Seattle Children's Building- Education Facility's 36.4 kBtu/ft² across 70,292 sq ft works out to about 2.6 billion Btu (750 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 80.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 403,148 kWh of electricity and 6,702 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Seattle Children's Building- Education Facility to report its energy use?
Seattle Children's Building- Education Facility 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:49778:2025). 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.
