How has 235 S HARVARD BLVD's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 235 S HARVARD BLVD, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 89 in 2018 to 94 in 2025 (+5 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 100. Site EUI moved from 20.6 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 25.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 21% increase. Reported emissions went from 58 tCO₂e to 57 tCO₂e over the same span (down 2%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 94 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 94 means the building performs better than about 94% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 94 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. 235 S HARVARD BLVD's 25.0 kBtu/ft² across 40,934 sq ft works out to about 1 billion Btu (300 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 52.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 600 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 235 S HARVARD BLVD to report its energy use?
235 S HARVARD BLVD 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.
