5950 W AVION DR

How does 5950 W AVION DR compare with other non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in Los Angeles?

The latest disclosures cover 392 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. 5950 W AVION DR's ENERGY STAR score of 42 compares with an average of 68 across the 352 that report a score; it scores higher than 17% of them and lower than 82%. Its site EUI of 18.3 kBtu/ft² is roughly in line with the average of 19.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 98,036 sq ft, it is about 70% above the average floor area of 57,664 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1956, 16 years earlier than the group's average year built (1972). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,723 non-refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 66 and a site EUI of 26.0 kBtu/ft².

How has 5950 W AVION DR's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 5950 W AVION DR, covering report years 2016–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 2 in 2016 to 42 in 2025 (+40 points); its best year on file was 2018, at 68. Site EUI moved from 64.6 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 18.3 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 72% decrease. Reported emissions went from 447 tCO₂e to 102 tCO₂e over the same span (down 77%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 42 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 42 means the building performs better than about 42% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 42 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 33 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 5950 W AVION DR's 18.3 kBtu/ft² across 98,036 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (526 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 46.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 483 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 5950 W AVION DR to report its energy use?

5950 W AVION DR 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:444554801783:2025). EBEWE requires annual benchmarking plus audits/retro-commissioning every five years for privately owned buildings of 20,000 sq ft or more; non-compliance carries a $202 fee (LAMC §91.9712) plus possible late fees.
