At 111,356 sq ft, it is about 36% above the average floor area of 81,645 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1972, 8 years later than the group's average year built (1964). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,327 other buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 60 and a site EUI of 63.3 kBtu/ft².

How has 1115 W SUNSET BLVD's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 1115 W SUNSET BLVD, covering report years 2016–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 46 in 2016 to 35 in 2025 (-11 points); its best year on file was 2016, at 46. Site EUI moved from 45.4 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 38.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 15% decrease. Reported emissions went from 379 tCO₂e to 238 tCO₂e over the same span (down 37%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 35 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 35 means the building performs better than about 35% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 35 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 40 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. 1115 W SUNSET BLVD's 38.4 kBtu/ft² across 111,356 sq ft works out to about 4.3 billion Btu (1,253 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 81.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,698 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 1115 W SUNSET BLVD to report its energy use?

1115 W SUNSET BLVD 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:486310846857:2025). 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.
