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. 15112 VANOWEN ST's 165.5 kBtu/ft² across 21,463 sq ft works out to about 3.6 billion Btu (1,041 MWh-equivalent) in 2025.
