How has 251 WORLD WAY's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 251 WORLD WAY, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 7.2 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 3.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 57% decrease. Reported emissions went from 172 tCO₂e to 55 tCO₂e over the same span (down 68%).
What does a site EUI of 3.1 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. 251 WORLD WAY's 3.1 kBtu/ft² across 313,069 sq ft works out to about 1 billion Btu (284 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 8.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
Which law requires 251 WORLD WAY to report its energy use?
251 WORLD WAY 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.
