How has 8500 BALBOA BLVD's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 8500 BALBOA BLVD, covering report years 2016–2025. Site EUI moved from 28.6 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 48.9 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 71% increase. Reported emissions went from 908 tCO₂e to 1,262 tCO₂e over the same span (up 39%).
What does a site EUI of 48.9 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. 8500 BALBOA BLVD's 48.9 kBtu/ft² across 451,046 sq ft works out to about 22.1 billion Btu (6,464 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 137.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,109 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 8500 BALBOA BLVD to report its energy use?
8500 BALBOA BLVD 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:410880904783:2025).
