How has 2221 S MAIN ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 2221 S MAIN ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Site EUI moved from 12.3 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 6.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 47% decrease. Reported emissions went from 28 tCO₂e to 13 tCO₂e over the same span (down 55%).
What does a site EUI of 6.5 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. 2221 S MAIN ST's 6.5 kBtu/ft² across 34,427 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (66 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 18.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 33 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 2221 S MAIN ST to report its energy use?
2221 S MAIN 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:480722832675:2025).
