9541 COZYCROFT AVE

How does 9541 COZYCROFT AVE compare with other manufacturing/industrial plant buildings in Los Angeles?

The latest disclosures cover 276 manufacturing/industrial plant buildings in Los Angeles, out of 11,498 buildings citywide. 9541 COZYCROFT AVE's ENERGY STAR score of 99 compares with an average of 69 across the 10 that report a score; it scores higher than 90% of them. Its site EUI of 13.1 kBtu/ft² is about 86% below the average of 95.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group.

At 30,000 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 59,169 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1973, 7 years later than the group's average year built (1967). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 2,372 manufacturing/industrial plant buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 67 and a site EUI of 126.3 kBtu/ft².

How has 9541 COZYCROFT AVE's energy performance changed over time?

BuildingCensus holds 8 Los Angeles disclosures for 9541 COZYCROFT AVE, covering report years 2018–2025. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 90 in 2018 to 99 in 2025 (+9 points); its best year on file was 2024, at 99. Site EUI moved from 23.5 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 13.1 kBtu/ft² (2025), a 44% decrease. Reported emissions went from 50 tCO₂e to 23 tCO₂e over the same span (down 55%).

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. 9541 COZYCROFT AVE's 13.1 kBtu/ft² across 30,000 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (115 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 36.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 70 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires 9541 COZYCROFT AVE to report its energy use?

9541 COZYCROFT 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:385600911649:2025). 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.
