Its emissions intensity of 1.1 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 21% below the group average of 1.4 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 24,501 sq ft, it is about 97% below the average floor area of 803,209 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2004, 36 years later than the group's average year built (1968). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 2,113 college/university buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 68 and a site EUI of 98.7 kBtu/ft².
How has The Wesly At Dravus's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for The Wesly At Dravus, covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 95 in 2015 to 87 in 2024 (-8 points); its best year on file was 2015, at 95. Site EUI moved from 40.7 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 41.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 2% increase. Reported emissions went from 27 tCO₂e to 23 tCO₂e over the same span (down 14%).
What does a site EUI of 41.4 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. The Wesly At Dravus's 41.4 kBtu/ft² across 24,501 sq ft works out to about 1 billion Btu (297 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 82.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 135,658 kWh of electricity and 3,962 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires The Wesly At Dravus to report its energy use?
The Wesly At Dravus 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:34248:2025). 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.
