How has 3401 S GRAND AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 3401 S GRAND AVE, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 2.8 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 5.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 100% increase. Reported emissions went from 225 tCO₂e to 340 tCO₂e over the same span (up 51%).
What does a site EUI of 5.6 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 GRAND AVE's 5.6 kBtu/ft² across 1,073,224 sq ft works out to about 6 billion Btu (1,761 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 15.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 303 thousand gallons of water for the year.
