In the spirit of leading by example, the City released benchmarking information for municipal buildings. The data includes property name, location, property size (ft²), Energy STAR scores where available, energy intensity (kBTU/ft²), water use (kilo-gallons), total GHG emissions (Metric Tons CO₂e), and several more metrics.

Active Water Conservation by Acre Feet in the City of Los Angeles. An Acre Foot is a unit of volume equal to one foot water in depth spread across one Acre (325,853.38 gallons).

This metric measures the average total daily water use in Los Angeles, divided by the total number of residents. As this figure includes commercial, industrial, and institutional water use, this figure does not represent the average personal daily use of an individual Angeleno.

Centralized stormwater capture facilities are engineered features located in specific locations that perform well at capturing large flows when available. In general, these facilities can capture and infiltrate more than 100 acre-feet per year.

This dataset shows the monthly yield for centralized stormwater capture across LA city for use in the stormwater dashboard and sustainable city pLAn.

Green infrastructure is designed to capture and infiltrate or filter stormwater runoff through natural systems. This dataset is used in combination with precipitation numbers to update the stormwater dashboard (in progress) and Sustainable City pLAn. It is refreshed as new projects are created.

Los Angeles gets its water from several sources, including local water supplies, recycled water and the Owens Valley. When those sources do not provide enough to meet demand, the DWP must purchase water on the open market from the Metropolitan Water District. Water from the MWD costs more than the other sources, so keeping purchases from MWD low is important to ensuring stable and affordable rates for DWP customers.
