How does Youthcare compare with other mixed use property buildings in Seattle?
The latest disclosures cover 157 mixed use property buildings in Seattle, out of 3,871 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 25.1 kBtu/ft² is about 63% 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 0.7 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 1.4 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 32,282 sq ft, it is about 80% below the average floor area of 165,352 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1997, 29 years later 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 Youthcare's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 11 Seattle disclosures for Youthcare, covering report years 2015–2025. Site EUI moved from 57.2 kBtu/ft² (2015) to 25.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 56% decrease. Reported emissions went from 35 tCO₂e to 18 tCO₂e over the same span (down 47%).
What does a site EUI of 25.1 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. Youthcare's 25.1 kBtu/ft² across 32,282 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (237 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 46.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 86,071 kWh of electricity and 3,406 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Youthcare to report its energy use?
Youthcare 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:25522:2025). 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.
