Federal Center South Building 1202 is home to the Seattle district headquarters of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A 60 ft wide office floor plate in the shape of a closed oxbow helps provides optimal orientation and reduces thermal loads. (Open office space is limited on this western edge, one of the toughest orientations.) The building operates among the top 1% of energy-efficient offices in the U.S., recording a first-year energy use intensity of 33.3 kBtu per square foot.
