How has 260 S MAIN ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 260 S MAIN ST, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 13.9 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 2.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 85% decrease. Reported emissions went from 309 tCO₂e to 33 tCO₂e over the same span (down 89%).
What does a site EUI of 2.1 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. 260 S MAIN ST's 2.1 kBtu/ft² across 298,000 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (183 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 2.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 855 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 260 S MAIN ST to report its energy use?
260 S MAIN 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:487430840576:2025).
