How has 601 S FIGUEROA ST's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 601 S FIGUEROA ST, covering report years 2016–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 88 in 2016 to 98 in 2025 (+10 points). Site EUI moved from 47.6 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 25.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 47% decrease. Reported emissions went from 4,617 tCO₂e to 1,603 tCO₂e over the same span (down 65%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 98 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 98 means the building performs better than about 98% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 98 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). 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. 601 S FIGUEROA ST's 25.1 kBtu/ft² across 1,118,941 sq ft works out to about 28.1 billion Btu (8,231 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 70.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 5,754 thousand gallons of water for the year.
