How has 1020 S FIGUEROA ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 1020 S FIGUEROA ST, covering report years 2016–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 7 in 2016 to 11 in 2025 (+4 points); its best year on file was 2021, at 27. Site EUI moved from 135.0 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 86.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 36% decrease. Reported emissions went from 884 tCO₂e to 481 tCO₂e over the same span (down 46%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 11 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 11 means the building performs better than about 11% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 11 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 64 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In Los Angeles, 63% 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. 1020 S FIGUEROA ST's 86.3 kBtu/ft² across 100,966 sq ft works out to about 8.7 billion Btu (2,554 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 170.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 6,306 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 1020 S FIGUEROA ST to report its energy use?
1020 S FIGUEROA ST reports under LA Municipal Code Div. 97, §91.9701 (EBEWE), the legal basis of Los Angeles's Existing Buildings Energy & Water Efficiency (EBEWE) program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results.
