Its site EUI of 14.2 kBtu/ft² is about 62% below the average of 37.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 55,125 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 60,540 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2000, 25 years later 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 1800 E 92ND ST's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 9 Los Angeles disclosures for 1800 E 92ND ST, covering report years 2017–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 78 in 2017 to 100 in 2025 (+22 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 100. Site EUI moved from 25.4 kBtu/ft² (2017) to 14.2 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 44% decrease. Reported emissions went from 85 tCO₂e to 43 tCO₂e over the same span (down 49%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 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: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 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. 1800 E 92ND ST's 14.2 kBtu/ft² across 55,125 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (229 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 26.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,495 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 1800 E 92ND ST to report its energy use?

1800 E 92ND 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. The record shown here is the report-year 2025 disclosure (source record la:488787805340:2025). EBEWE requires annual benchmarking plus audits/retro-commissioning every five years for privately owned buildings of 20,000 sq ft or more; non-compliance carries a $202 fee (LAMC §91.9712) plus possible late fees.
