How has 2251 E 7TH ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 2251 E 7TH ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Site EUI moved from 348.7 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 445.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 28% increase. Reported emissions went from 647 tCO₂e to 712 tCO₂e over the same span (up 10%).
What does a site EUI of 445.1 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. 2251 E 7TH ST's 445.1 kBtu/ft² across 28,000 sq ft works out to about 12.5 billion Btu (3,652 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 1246.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,297 thousand gallons of water for the year.
