The latest disclosures cover 676 office buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. 6010 W AVION DR's ENERGY STAR score of 75 compares with an average of 77 across the 591 that report a score; it scores higher than 32% of them and lower than 66%. Its site EUI of 80.6 kBtu/ft² is about 82% above the average of 44.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 75,883 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 147,328 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1972 construction date is close to the group's average year built (1975). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 15,264 office buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 73 and a site EUI of 59.3 kBtu/ft².

How has 6010 W AVION DR's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 4 Los Angeles disclosures for 6010 W AVION DR, covering report years 2016–2019. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2016 to 75 in 2019 (-25 points); its best year on file was 2016, at 100. Site EUI moved from 16.4 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 80.6 kBtu/ft² (2019), an 391% increase. Reported emissions went from 95 tCO₂e to 346 tCO₂e over the same span (up 267%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 75 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 75 means the building performs better than about 75% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 75 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. 6010 W AVION DR's 80.6 kBtu/ft² across 75,883 sq ft works out to about 6.1 billion Btu (1,792 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. Its source EUI of 113.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,068 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 6010 W AVION DR to report its energy use?

6010 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 2019 disclosure (source record la:443988801650:2019). 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.
