How has 5500 CANOGA AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 5500 CANOGA AVE, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 493.8 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 161.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 67% decrease. Reported emissions went from 7,503 tCO₂e to 4,771 tCO₂e over the same span (down 36%).
What does a site EUI of 161.6 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. 5500 CANOGA AVE's 161.6 kBtu/ft² across 500,304 sq ft works out to about 80.8 billion Btu (23,695 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 329.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 13,794 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 5500 CANOGA AVE to report its energy use?
5500 CANOGA AVE 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:382235885190:2025).
