How does 500 W 7TH ST compare with other other buildings in Los Angeles?
The latest disclosures cover 114 other buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. Its site EUI of 30.0 kBtu/ft² is about 28% below the average of 41.6 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 147,000 sq ft, it is about 80% above the average floor area of 81,645 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1917, 47 years earlier than the group's average year built (1964). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 1,327 other buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 60 and a site EUI of 63.3 kBtu/ft².
How has 500 W 7TH ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 500 W 7TH ST, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 111.3 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 30.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 73% decrease. Reported emissions went from 203 tCO₂e to 249 tCO₂e over the same span (up 23%).
What does a site EUI of 30.0 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. 500 W 7TH ST's 30.0 kBtu/ft² across 147,000 sq ft works out to about 4.4 billion Btu (1,292 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 74.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 4,444 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 500 W 7TH ST to report its energy use?
500 W 7TH ST 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. The record shown here is the report-year 2025 disclosure (source record la:484012839409:2025).
