How has 13161 TELFAIR AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Los Angeles disclosures for 13161 TELFAIR AVE, covering report years 2017–2025. Site EUI moved from 72.4 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 19.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 73% decrease. Reported emissions went from 260 tCO₂e to 64 tCO₂e over the same span (down 76%).
What does a site EUI of 19.9 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. 13161 TELFAIR AVE's 19.9 kBtu/ft² across 55,790 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (325 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 55.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,213 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 13161 TELFAIR AVE to report its energy use?
13161 TELFAIR 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.
