  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   The energy resources of this state and the nation are essential to the preservation of the public health, welfare, and safety and to the maintenance of a healthy economy;    The conservation and efficient use of said energy resources are necessary if the quality of life in this state is to be maintained and continued;    The purpose of this article is to provide minimum uniform statewide insulation standards to achieve energy conservation in the construction and renovation of residential buildings and to encourage energy conservation by other means in the construction and renovation of residential buildings, recognizing that such energy conservation by insulation or other means must be life cycle cost-effective in order to minimize the adverse impact on residential life-styles and to continue to strive to make reasonably priced housing available to all residents of this state;    The general assembly recognizes the technological improvements developed by the home-building industry in connection with energy conservation for residential buildings and wishes to encourage continued technological improvement by the home-building industry in order to exceed the insulation energy conservation standards contained in this article;    It is the further purpose to establish a process which will result in the development of residential energy conserving performance standards by September 1, 1977. Such standards shall consider all uses of energy generated by fossil fuels, used within a dwelling, including energy used for lighting, cooking, appliances, maintenance of air temperature, and heating water and the energy lost through the building envelope and exhaust pipes. It is consistent with public policy to encourage the rehabilitation, preservation, and restoration of buildings built before September 1, 1977.        History.

Any county or municipality adopting such standards may accept computations submitted by a licensed architect or licensed engineer that the design of the proposed building meets or exceeds the locally adopted energy efficiency standards.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 6 - Consumer and Commercial Affairs|Article 7.5 - Water and Energy Efficiency Standards|§ 6-7.5-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly finds and determines that efficiency standards for certain products sold in Colorado:   Assure consumers and businesses that such products meet minimum efficiency performance levels, thus reducing energy and water waste and saving consumers and businesses money on utility bills;    Protect consumers and businesses against manufacturers who would otherwise sell, in Colorado, less efficient appliances that they cannot sell in states that have higher standards;    Save energy and thus reduce pollution and other environmental impacts associated with the production, distribution, and use of electricity, natural gas, and other fuels;    Improve electric system reliability and potentially reduce the need for new energy and water infrastructure based on the resulting energy and water savings;    Apply to products available at a price equal to or less than noncompliant products, or available at a minimal cost premium;    Have saved Coloradans billions of gallons of water since 2014, when WaterSense standards were enacted for plumbing fixtures, without sacrificing quality or product performance; and    Contribute to the economy of this state by helping to better balance supply and demand for both energy and water, thus reducing the upward pressure on prices for electricity, natural gas, and water caused by increased demand. In addition, efficiency standards allow consumers and businesses to use the money they save on utility bills to purchase local goods and services.       Therefore, the general assembly declares that the adoption of energy and water efficiency standards in accordance with this article 7.5 is a matter of state and local concern and serves the public interest of the people of Colorado.
