What does a site EUI of 6.1 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. Nevada Museum of Art's 6.1 kBtu/ft² across 68,132 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (122 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 11.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 576 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Nevada Museum of Art to report its energy use?
