Its site EUI of 16.5 kBtu/ft² is about 76% below the average of 68.7 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.5 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 68% below the group average of 1.4 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 72,000 sq ft, it is about 56% below the average floor area of 165,352 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1902, 66 years earlier than the group's average year built (1968). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,212 mixed use property buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 69 and a site EUI of 79.8 kBtu/ft².
How has U.s. Rubber Bldg.'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for U.s. Rubber Bldg., covering report years 2015–2025. Site EUI moved from 18.2 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 16.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 9% decrease. Reported emissions went from 26 tCO₂e to 26 tCO₂e over the same span (up 1%).
What does a site EUI of 16.5 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. U.s. Rubber Bldg.'s 16.5 kBtu/ft² across 72,000 sq ft works out to about 1.2 billion Btu (348 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 32.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 144,024 kWh of electricity and 4,498 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires U.s. Rubber Bldg. to report its energy use?
U.s. Rubber Bldg. 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:806:2025). 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.
