How has 16231 W WATERMAN DR's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 16231 W WATERMAN DR, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 37.6 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 14.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 62% decrease. Reported emissions went from 29 tCO₂e to 8 tCO₂e over the same span (down 71%).

What does a site EUI of 14.4 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. 16231 W WATERMAN DR's 14.4 kBtu/ft² across 10,443 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (44 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 28.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 261 thousand gallons of water for the year.
