Its ENERGY STAR score went from 50 in 2023 to 93 in 2025 (+43 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 93. Site EUI moved from 65.8 kBtu/ft² (2023) to 40.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 38% decrease. Reported emissions went from 85 tCO₂e to 49 tCO₂e over the same span (down 42%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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. 1775 ORCHID AVE's 40.9 kBtu/ft² across 22,000 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (264 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 72.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,042 thousand gallons of water for the year.
