How has 3401 S CENTRAL AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 3401 S CENTRAL AVE, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 55.9 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 52.7 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 6% decrease. Reported emissions went from 41 tCO₂e to 32 tCO₂e over the same span (down 20%).
What does a site EUI of 52.7 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. 3401 S CENTRAL AVE's 52.7 kBtu/ft² across 11,188 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (173 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 98.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 536 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 3401 S CENTRAL AVE to report its energy use?
3401 S CENTRAL AVE 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.
