The latest disclosures cover 3,538 multifamily housing buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. 1700 W SUNSET BLVD's ENERGY STAR score of 44 compares with an average of 78 across the 3,344 that report a score; it scores higher than 8% of them and lower than 92%. Its site EUI of 35.5 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 37.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 49,794 sq ft, it is about 18% below the average floor area of 60,540 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1924, 51 years earlier than the group's average year built (1975). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 59,945 multifamily housing buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 70 and a site EUI of 59.0 kBtu/ft².
How has 1700 W SUNSET BLVD's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 1700 W SUNSET BLVD, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 33 in 2018 to 44 in 2025 (+11 points). Site EUI moved from 46.5 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 35.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 24% decrease. Reported emissions went from 136 tCO₂e to 97 tCO₂e over the same span (down 29%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 44 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 44 means the building performs better than about 44% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 44 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 31 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 1700 W SUNSET BLVD's 35.5 kBtu/ft² across 49,794 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (518 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 68.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,294 thousand gallons of water for the year.
