How does 2300 E 11TH ST compare with other distribution center buildings in Los Angeles?

The latest disclosures cover 172 distribution center buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. 2300 E 11TH ST's ENERGY STAR score of 40 compares with an average of 65 across the 149 that report a score; it scores higher than 21% of them and lower than 77%. Its site EUI of 21.3 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 21.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 27,552 sq ft, it is about 68% below the average floor area of 86,482 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1980, 3 years later than the group's average year built (1977). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,082 distribution center buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 24.2 kBtu/ft².

How has 2300 E 11TH ST's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 2300 E 11TH ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 58 in 2020 to 40 in 2025 (-18 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 58. Site EUI moved from 16.2 kBtu/ft² (2020) to 21.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 31% increase. Reported emissions went from 27 tCO₂e to 34 tCO₂e over the same span (up 24%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 40 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: a score of 40 means the building performs better than about 40% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 40 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 35 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 2300 E 11TH ST's 21.3 kBtu/ft² across 27,552 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (172 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 59.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 275 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 2300 E 11TH ST to report its energy use?

2300 E 11TH 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:491700830731:2025). 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.
