901 E E ST

How does 901 E E ST compare with other refrigerated warehouse buildings in Los Angeles?

The latest disclosures cover 33 refrigerated warehouse buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. 901 E E ST's ENERGY STAR score of 1 compares with an average of 42 across the 28 that report a score; it scores higher than 0% of them and lower than 93%. Its site EUI of 196.0 kBtu/ft² is about twice the average of 100.7 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 102,309 sq ft, it is about 15% above the average floor area of 88,638 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1985, 19 years later than the group's average year built (1966). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 472 refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 52 and a site EUI of 76.3 kBtu/ft².

How has 901 E E ST's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 10 Los Angeles disclosures for 901 E E ST, covering report years 2016–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 27 in 2016 to 1 in 2025 (-26 points); its best year on file was 2016, at 27. Site EUI moved from 89.5 kBtu/ft² (2016) to 196.0 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 119% increase. Reported emissions went from 694 tCO₂e to 1,146 tCO₂e over the same span (up 65%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 1 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: 1 is the bottom of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 1 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 74 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. 901 E E ST's 196.0 kBtu/ft² across 102,309 sq ft works out to about 20.1 billion Btu (5,877 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 547.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 3,841 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 901 E E ST to report its energy use?

901 E E ST 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:485144741222:2025). EBEWE requires annual benchmarking plus audits/retro-commissioning every five years for privately owned buildings of 20,000 sq ft or more; non-compliance carries a $202 fee (LAMC §91.9712) plus possible late fees.
