Its ENERGY STAR score went from 61 in 2019 to 84 in 2025 (+23 points); its best year on file was 2023, at 87. Site EUI moved from 46.6 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 40.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 13% decrease. Reported emissions went from 89 tCO₂e to 69 tCO₂e over the same span (down 23%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 84 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 84 means the building performs better than about 84% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 84 falls in band B — above median (70–84). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. In Los Angeles, 63% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
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. 5140 S CENTRAL AVE's 40.5 kBtu/ft² across 30,994 sq ft works out to about 1.3 billion Btu (368 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 71.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
