How has 2601 S FIGUEROA ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 2601 S FIGUEROA ST, covering report years 2016–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 86 in 2024 to 91 in 2025 (+5 points). Site EUI moved from 12.9 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 39.8 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 209% increase. Reported emissions went from 259 tCO₂e to 849 tCO₂e over the same span (up 228%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 means the building performs better than about 91% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 91 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. 2601 S FIGUEROA ST's 39.8 kBtu/ft² across 384,823 sq ft works out to about 15.3 billion Btu (4,489 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 82.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 4,993 thousand gallons of water for the year.
