How does 1100 W MANCHESTER AVE compare with other K-12 school buildings in Los Angeles?

The latest disclosures cover 41 K-12 school buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. 1100 W MANCHESTER AVE's ENERGY STAR score of 99 compares with an average of 64 across the 36 that report a score; it scores higher than 75% of them and lower than 14%. Its site EUI of 10.6 kBtu/ft² is about 67% below the average of 31.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 26,676 sq ft, it is about 41% below the average floor area of 44,929 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1955, 20 years earlier than the group's average year built (1975). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².

How has 1100 W MANCHESTER AVE's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 1100 W MANCHESTER AVE, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2018 to 99 in 2025 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2018, at 100. Site EUI moved from 8.4 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 10.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 26% increase. Reported emissions went from 14 tCO₂e to 16 tCO₂e over the same span (up 12%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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. 1100 W MANCHESTER AVE's 10.6 kBtu/ft² across 26,676 sq ft works out to about 0.3 billion Btu (83 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 25.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 155 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 1100 W MANCHESTER AVE to report its energy use?

1100 W MANCHESTER AVE 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. The record shown here is the report-year 2025 disclosure (source record la:472474807834:2025). EBEWE requires annual benchmarking plus audits/retro-commissioning every five years for privately owned buildings of 20,000 sq ft or more; non-compliance carries a $202 fee (LAMC §91.9712) plus possible late fees.
