Its site EUI of 99.0 kBtu/ft² is about 51% above the average of 65.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 119,000 sq ft, it is about 29% below the average floor area of 167,786 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1900, 88 years earlier than the group's average year built (1988).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 31 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 31 means the building performs better than about 31% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 31 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 44 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In California, 65% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
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. 228-Hotel Figueroa's 99.0 kBtu/ft² across 119,000 sq ft works out to about 11.8 billion Btu (3,453 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. The disclosure also reports 1,951,429 kWh of electricity and 51,203 therms of natural gas for the year.
