Energize Denver Ordinance 2.0 and Colorado Building Decarbonization Program Updates
ABOUT: In 2021, Denver adopted the “Energize Denver” ordinance requiring large commercial and multifamily buildings to meet strict energy performance targets to help the City and County of Denver meet emissions reduction goals. Shortly after, the State of Colorado passed HB21-1286, establishing statewide Building Performance Standards. Together, these two programs created overlapping, and at times, conflicting, compliance requirements for building owners, prompting the need for further clarification.
NAIOP has been actively engaged in these policy conversations to ensure our members who are directly impacted by these mandates, can meet requirements without facing unreasonable burdens.
