How has 5821 W 3RD ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 5821 W 3RD ST, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 98.9 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 83.8 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 15% decrease. Reported emissions went from 47 tCO₂e to 35 tCO₂e over the same span (down 25%).
What does a site EUI of 83.8 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. 5821 W 3RD ST's 83.8 kBtu/ft² across 7,514 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (185 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 167.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
