How has 1450 N BIGGY ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Los Angeles disclosures for 1450 N BIGGY ST, covering report years 2017–2025. Site EUI moved from 159.0 kBtu/ft² (2017) to 259.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 63% increase. Reported emissions went from 1,798 tCO₂e to 2,501 tCO₂e over the same span (up 39%).
What does a site EUI of 259.6 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. 1450 N BIGGY ST's 259.6 kBtu/ft² across 176,703 sq ft works out to about 45.9 billion Btu (13,444 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 435.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,663 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 1450 N BIGGY ST to report its energy use?
1450 N BIGGY 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:499536844908:2025).
