How has 519 S GRAMERCY PL's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 519 S GRAMERCY PL, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 77 in 2018 to 81 in 2025 (+4 points).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 81 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 81 means the building performs better than about 81% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 81 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. 519 S GRAMERCY PL's 30.4 kBtu/ft² across 30,866 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (275 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 60.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,519 thousand gallons of water for the year.
