BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 11970 W VENICE BLVD, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 58.4 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 48.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 17% decrease. Reported emissions went from 57 tCO₂e to 38 tCO₂e over the same span (down 34%).
What does a site EUI of 48.5 kBtu/ft² mean?
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. 11970 W VENICE BLVD's 48.5 kBtu/ft² across 13,790 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (196 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 121.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 381 thousand gallons of water for the year.
