10 Things you didn’t know about Dubai’s Burj Khalifa (With Pictures)

3. Lots and Lots of Energy

Of course, when you have so much going on in one building, you probably need a lot of resources to keep it going. Since the Burj Khalifa is so massive, it requires about 250,000 gallons of water each day. That’s a lot, especially when you compare it to the 80 to 100 gallons that people use in their houses daily. It also consumes tons of electricity, burning off the equivalent of 360,000 bulbs that burn at the same time. Not just any bulbs though; these are 100-watt bulbs.
