ADOPTED REGULATION OF THE NEVADA ENERGY COMMISSIONER
LCB File No. R148-10 Effective January 1, 2011


A NEW REGULATION relating to energy efficiency will go into effect the first of 2011. You must, as a home seller prescribe to the standards for evaluating the energy consumption of residential property; to date a home owner can give a summary of the last 12 months of energy
use and in addition here in Las Vegas it is a fairly easy process. The utility companies will give a 12 month review of the energy comsumption for a particular address. There will be a form provided by your professional REALTOR that will facilitate a homeowner's compliance with this new regulation.

1. The form must include the following information for each dwelling unit for
which the evaluation of the energy consumption is being performed:

(a) The address or assessor’s parcel number of the dwelling unit.
(b) The year in which the dwelling unit was constructed.
(c) The number of stories the dwelling unit contains.
(d) The number of bedrooms in the dwelling unit.
(e) The square footage of the dwelling unit and the square footage of the conditioned area
of the dwelling unit.
(f) If the information is reasonably available (hasn't been vacant for an extended period of time), the monthly and total consumption and cost of electricity for the 12-month period immediately preceding the sale of the residential property during which the dwelling unit was occupied and electric service was provided.
