How has 1601 S GRAND AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 1601 S GRAND AVE, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 38.0 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 42.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 11% increase. Reported emissions went from 40 tCO₂e to 37 tCO₂e over the same span (down 9%).
What does a site EUI of 42.0 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. 1601 S GRAND AVE's 42.0 kBtu/ft² across 15,800 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (194 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 82.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 288 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 1601 S GRAND AVE to report its energy use?
1601 S GRAND 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.
