HOAs in Denver and Colorado are unique in several ways! First, Denver has a semi-arid, high-desert climate and four distinct seasons, so buidlings must plan for and deal with things like wind, hail, high winds, water scarcity and conservation, and the exposure to winter elements, including the expansion of water is it freezes. HOAs in Denver are also subject to the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act, (CCIOA) a number of laws pertaining to many aspects of the operations, compliance, and governance of associations in our state. HOAs in Denver over 25,000 square feet are required to measure and report their energy usage on an annual basis through Energize Denver. The reporting element is part of a broader effort to reduce energy consumption across the city by 2030.
