The latest disclosures cover 41 K-12 school buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. 11919 OXNARD ST's ENERGY STAR score of 78 compares with an average of 64 across the 36 that report a score; it scores higher than 42% of them and lower than 56%. Its site EUI of 25.5 kBtu/ft² is about 20% below the average of 31.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 40,685 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 44,929 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1947, 28 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 11919 OXNARD ST's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 11919 OXNARD ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 41 in 2019 to 78 in 2025 (+37 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 78 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 78 means the building performs better than about 78% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 78 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. 11919 OXNARD ST's 25.5 kBtu/ft² across 40,685 sq ft works out to about 1 billion Btu (304 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 66.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 4,494 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 11919 OXNARD ST to report its energy use?

11919 OXNARD 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. The record shown here is the report-year 2025 disclosure (source record la:442819888065:2025). 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.
