How has Times Square Building (The Vance Corporation)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Times Square Building (The Vance Corporation), covering report years 2015–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 63 in 2015 to 93 in 2025 (+30 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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. Times Square Building (The Vance Corporation)'s 26.8 kBtu/ft² across 73,399 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (576 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 75.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 576,599 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Times Square Building (The Vance Corporation) to report its energy use?
Times Square Building (The Vance Corporation) 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:332:2025). 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.
