How has 2135 FEDERAL AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 2135 FEDERAL AVE, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 3.6 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 6.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 83% increase. Reported emissions went from 47 tCO₂e to 59 tCO₂e over the same span (up 24%).
What does a site EUI of 6.6 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. 2135 FEDERAL AVE's 6.6 kBtu/ft² across 156,600 sq ft works out to about 1 billion Btu (303 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 10.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,036 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 2135 FEDERAL AVE to report its energy use?
2135 FEDERAL AVE 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.
