How has 1778 E 21ST ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 9 Los Angeles disclosures for 1778 E 21ST ST, covering report years 2017–2025. Site EUI moved from 61.2 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 67.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 10% increase. Reported emissions went from 267 tCO₂e to 264 tCO₂e over the same span (down 1%).
What does a site EUI of 67.3 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. 1778 E 21ST ST's 67.3 kBtu/ft² across 68,600 sq ft works out to about 4.6 billion Btu (1,353 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 188.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 329 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 1778 E 21ST ST to report its energy use?
1778 E 21ST 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.
