Its site EUI of 1.5 kBtu/ft² is about 93% below the average of 21.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 20,100 sq ft, it is about 77% below the average floor area of 86,482 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1922, 55 years earlier than the group's average year built (1977). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,082 distribution center buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 24.2 kBtu/ft².

How has 932 WALL ST's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 932 WALL ST, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 100 in 2018 to 99 in 2025 (-1 points); its best year on file was 2018, at 100. Site EUI moved from 0.3 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 1.5 kBtu/ft² (2025), an 400% increase. Reported emissions went from 0 tCO₂e to 2 tCO₂e over the same span (up 338%).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 99 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 99 means the building performs better than about 99% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 99 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. 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. 932 WALL ST's 1.5 kBtu/ft² across 20,100 sq ft works out to about 0 billion Btu (9 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 4.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 32 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 932 WALL ST to report its energy use?

932 WALL 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:485177836219:2025). 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.
