How has Uw - Kincaid Hall's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 Seattle disclosures for Uw - Kincaid Hall, covering report years 2023–2025. Site EUI moved from 38.0 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 39.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 3% increase. Reported emissions went from 48 tCO₂e to 27 tCO₂e over the same span (down 45%).
What does a site EUI of 39.1 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. Uw - Kincaid Hall's 39.1 kBtu/ft² across 84,459 sq ft works out to about 3.3 billion Btu (968 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 97.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 804,932 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Uw - Kincaid Hall to report its energy use?
Uw - Kincaid Hall 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:49978:2025). 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.
