BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 4960 N BALBOA BLVD, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 61.1 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 54.4 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 11% decrease. Reported emissions went from 62 tCO₂e to 46 tCO₂e over the same span (down 25%).
What does a site EUI of 54.4 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. 4960 N BALBOA BLVD's 54.4 kBtu/ft² across 15,250 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (243 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 114.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 202 thousand gallons of water for the year.
