How has 7040 VALJEAN AVE's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 7040 VALJEAN AVE, covering report years 2018–2025. Site EUI moved from 7.7 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 3.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 61% decrease. Reported emissions went from 24 tCO₂e to 8 tCO₂e over the same span (down 69%).
What does a site EUI of 3.0 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. 7040 VALJEAN AVE's 3.0 kBtu/ft² across 44,480 sq ft works out to about 0.1 billion Btu (39 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 7.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 53 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 7040 VALJEAN AVE to report its energy use?
7040 VALJEAN AVE 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.
