How has Virginia Mason - Health Resources Building's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Virginia Mason - Health Resources Building, covering report years 2015–2025. Site EUI moved from 91.1 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 57.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 37% decrease. Reported emissions went from 135 tCO₂e to 171 tCO₂e over the same span (up 27%).
What does a site EUI of 57.0 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. Virginia Mason - Health Resources Building's 57.0 kBtu/ft² across 68,500 sq ft works out to about 3.9 billion Btu (1,144 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 118.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 693,340 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Virginia Mason - Health Resources Building to report its energy use?
Virginia Mason - Health Resources Building 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:436:2025). 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.
