The latest disclosures cover 676 office buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. 845 S FIGUEROA ST's ENERGY STAR score of 58 compares with an average of 77 across the 591 that report a score; it scores higher than 17% of them and lower than 82%. Its site EUI of 64.3 kBtu/ft² is about 45% above the average of 44.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.
At 140,000 sq ft, it is roughly in line with the average floor area of 147,328 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1966, 9 years earlier than 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.
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 58 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 58 means the building performs better than about 58% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 58 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 17 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. 845 S FIGUEROA ST's 64.3 kBtu/ft² across 140,000 sq ft works out to about 9 billion Btu (2,638 MWh-equivalent) in 2016. Its source EUI of 190.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,172 thousand gallons of water for the year.
