BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 6501 W IMPERIAL HWY, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 31.1 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 25.8 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 17% decrease. Reported emissions went from 166 tCO₂e to 107 tCO₂e over the same span (down 36%).
What does a site EUI of 25.8 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. 6501 W IMPERIAL HWY's 25.8 kBtu/ft² across 72,339 sq ft works out to about 1.9 billion Btu (547 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 72.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 378 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 6501 W IMPERIAL HWY to report its energy use?
