How has 2408 S BROADWAY's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 2408 S BROADWAY, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 85 in 2024 to 76 in 2025 (-9 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 85. Site EUI moved from 29.6 kBtu/ft² (2024) to 35.8 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 21% increase. Reported emissions went from 89 tCO₂e to 92 tCO₂e over the same span (up 4%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 76 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 76 means the building performs better than about 76% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 76 falls in band B — above median (70–84). 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. 2408 S BROADWAY's 35.8 kBtu/ft² across 45,144 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (474 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 100.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 207 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 2408 S BROADWAY to report its energy use?
2408 S BROADWAY 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.
