How does 2250 ALCAZAR ST compare with other laboratory buildings in Los Angeles?
The latest disclosures cover 13 laboratory buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 295.9 kBtu/ft² is about 26% above the average of 235.7 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 128,738 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 130,127 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1951, 31 years earlier than the group's average year built (1982). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 795 laboratory buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 29 and a site EUI of 231.7 kBtu/ft².
How has 2250 ALCAZAR ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 2250 ALCAZAR ST, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 252.9 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 295.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 17% increase. Reported emissions went from 1,240 tCO₂e to 2,096 tCO₂e over the same span (up 69%).
What does a site EUI of 295.9 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. 2250 ALCAZAR ST's 295.9 kBtu/ft² across 128,738 sq ft works out to about 38.1 billion Btu (11,164 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 554.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 5,147 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 2250 ALCAZAR ST to report its energy use?
2250 ALCAZAR 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:501088845215:2025). 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.
