The latest disclosures cover 12 transportation terminal/station buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 52.8 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 98.2 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 785,662 sq ft, it is about 64% above the average floor area of 477,944 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1962, 10 years earlier than the group's average year built (1972). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 103 transportation terminal/station buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 4 and a site EUI of 105.1 kBtu/ft².
How has 400 WORLD WAY's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 400 WORLD WAY, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 41.6 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 52.8 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 27% increase. Reported emissions went from 2,056 tCO₂e to 2,360 tCO₂e over the same span (up 15%).
What does a site EUI of 52.8 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. 400 WORLD WAY's 52.8 kBtu/ft² across 785,662 sq ft works out to about 41.5 billion Btu (12,157 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 143.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 35,759 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 400 WORLD WAY to report its energy use?
400 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.
