How has 4522 BRAZIL ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 4522 BRAZIL ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Site EUI moved from 16.8 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 23.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 42% increase. Reported emissions went from 31 tCO₂e to 36 tCO₂e over the same span (up 16%).
What does a site EUI of 23.9 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. 4522 BRAZIL ST's 23.9 kBtu/ft² across 26,220 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (184 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 67.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 200 thousand gallons of water for the year.
