2200 W 3RD ST

How does 2200 W 3RD ST compare with other medical office buildings in Los Angeles?

The latest disclosures cover 96 medical office buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. 2200 W 3RD ST's ENERGY STAR score of 100 compares with an average of 74 across the 85 that report a score; it scores higher than 78% of them. Its site EUI of 21.6 kBtu/ft² is about 70% below the average of 71.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 133,052 sq ft, it is about 54% above the average floor area of 86,243 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1994, 11 years later than the group's average year built (1983). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,266 medical office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 92.2 kBtu/ft².

How has 2200 W 3RD ST's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 2200 W 3RD ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Site EUI moved from 25.1 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 21.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 14% decrease. Reported emissions went from 202 tCO₂e to 164 tCO₂e over the same span (down 18%).

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. 2200 W 3RD ST's 21.6 kBtu/ft² across 133,052 sq ft works out to about 2.9 billion Btu (842 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 60.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 683 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 2200 W 3RD ST to report its energy use?

2200 W 3RD 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:478664845493:2025). 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.
