How has 209 WORLD WAY's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 209 WORLD WAY, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 42.5 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 33.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 22% decrease. Reported emissions went from 123 tCO₂e to 86 tCO₂e over the same span (down 30%).
What does a site EUI of 33.1 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. 209 WORLD WAY's 33.1 kBtu/ft² across 45,514 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (442 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 90.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 951 thousand gallons of water for the year.
