How has 1630 N MAIN ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 1630 N MAIN ST, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 185.1 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 66.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 64% decrease. Reported emissions went from 773 tCO₂e to 211 tCO₂e over the same span (down 73%).
What does a site EUI of 66.1 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. 1630 N MAIN ST's 66.1 kBtu/ft² across 55,872 sq ft works out to about 3.7 billion Btu (1,082 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 182.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 303 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 1630 N MAIN ST to report its energy use?
1630 N MAIN 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.
