BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 7821 ORION AVE, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 74.9 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 53.6 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 28% decrease. Reported emissions went from 1,348 tCO₂e to 844 tCO₂e over the same span (down 37%).
What does a site EUI of 53.6 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. 7821 ORION AVE's 53.6 kBtu/ft² across 278,077 sq ft works out to about 14.9 billion Btu (4,368 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 136.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 3,374 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 7821 ORION AVE to report its energy use?
7821 ORION 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. The record shown here is the report-year 2025 disclosure (source record la:418891900377:2025).
