How has 500 WORLD WAY's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 500 WORLD WAY, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 121.3 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 88.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 27% decrease. Reported emissions went from 4,580 tCO₂e to 2,591 tCO₂e over the same span (down 43%).
What does a site EUI of 88.9 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. 500 WORLD WAY's 88.9 kBtu/ft² across 512,572 sq ft works out to about 45.6 billion Btu (13,355 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 237.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 23,357 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 500 WORLD WAY to report its energy use?
500 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.
