How does University Club compare with other social/meeting hall buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 9 social/meeting hall buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 82.2 kBtu/ft² is about 26% above the average of 65.4 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 2.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 11% above the group average of 2.6 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 20,411 sq ft, it is about 38% below the average floor area of 32,687 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1912, 20 years earlier than the group's average year built (1932).
How has University Club's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for University Club, covering report years 2015–2025. Site EUI moved from 95.0 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 82.2 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 13% decrease. Reported emissions went from 68 tCO₂e to 59 tCO₂e over the same span (down 14%).
What does a site EUI of 82.2 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. University Club's 82.2 kBtu/ft² across 20,411 sq ft works out to about 1.7 billion Btu (492 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 139.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 180,536 kWh of electricity and 10,614 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires University Club to report its energy use?
University Club 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:21336:2025). 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.
