Reported emissions went from 1,127 tCO₂e to 3,373 tCO₂e over the same span (up 199%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 1 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: 1 is the bottom of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 1 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 74 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. 1800 N MAIN ST's 165.3 kBtu/ft² across 378,000 sq ft works out to about 62.5 billion Btu (18,312 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 235.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,588 thousand gallons of water for the year.
