The requirements move beyond current voluntary programs to require actions that reduce energy use and improve the quality of Denver’s commercial and industrial building stock. Who? If you own or manage buildings above 50,000 square feet you must track and report your energy consumption according to the City’s compliance deadlines (outlined below). What? The ordinance’s goal is to ensure the long-term vitality of the community. Energy use represents a key focus in Denver’s climate efforts. Beyond contributing to the city’s climate goals, the requirements provide valuable information that can help building owners improve the performance of their properties in ways that benefit their bottom line, as well as enhance the comfort of work and living spaces for tenants. When? The compliance deadline for all affected buildings to report their annual electricity and natural gas usage is June 1st each year. June 1, 2017 for existing 50,000 square feet and over. The deadline is every June 1st thereafter. With this being the first year of compliance regulations, there is an available extension to push the deadline to September 1st, 2017. How?
