How has 1850 SAWTELLE BLVD's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 5 Los Angeles disclosures for 1850 SAWTELLE BLVD, covering report years 2018, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2024 to 96 in 2025 (-4 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 100. Site EUI moved from 74.6 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 15.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 79% decrease. Reported emissions went from 99 tCO₂e to 18 tCO₂e over the same span (down 82%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 96 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 96 means the building performs better than about 96% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 96 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. 1850 SAWTELLE BLVD's 15.3 kBtu/ft² across 20,488 sq ft works out to about 0.3 billion Btu (92 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 42.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 29 thousand gallons of water for the year.
