How has 6080 CENTER DR's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 6080 CENTER DR, covering report years 2016–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 91 in 2016 to 95 in 2025 (+4 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 95. Site EUI moved from 49.3 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 36.7 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 26% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,225 tCO₂e to 681 tCO₂e over the same span (down 44%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 95 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 95 means the building performs better than about 95% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 95 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. 6080 CENTER DR's 36.7 kBtu/ft² across 330,646 sq ft works out to about 12.1 billion Btu (3,556 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 85.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,005 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 6080 CENTER DR to report its energy use?

6080 CENTER 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:442880814212:2025). 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.
