Colorado building compliance is now a portfolio workflow, not a single deadline.
Colorado owners may need to manage statewide BPC reporting, Denver performance targets, Boulder audit/RCx cycles, Fort Collins public disclosure, and new Lakewood benchmarking. The risk is not just missing one form — it is losing track of which buildings need which workflow.
Owner-side thesis
Colorado is a primary Peak Energy Advisors focus market.
This page turns the local program database into client-facing proof: source-backed records, clear thresholds, and practical next actions for owners and managers.
Denver
Energize Denver large buildingsBuildings 25,000+ SF benchmark annually and manage building-specific interim/final performance targets, with many buildings using the 2028/2032 updated timeline.
Local expansion
Boulder, Fort Collins, LakewoodBoulder layers benchmarking with assessment, retro-commissioning, and lighting work. Fort Collins adds energy/water scoring. Lakewood adds a new 10,000+ SF benchmarking requirement.

What to check first
Use this as an intake checklist before deciding whether the next move is simple benchmarking support, data verification, an audit/RCx scope, or a portfolio risk review.
BPC
State coverage and Denver overlap
Confirm whether each building is a covered 50,000+ SF commercial property and whether it also sits inside Denver. Covered Denver buildings still need annual benchmarking with both Denver and the state.

Denver
Target-year exposure
For 25,000+ SF Denver buildings, confirm the assigned target, target-year timeline, benchmarking accuracy, and whether an audit, extension, adjustment, renewable credit, or alternate pathway is needed.

Boulder
Assessment and RCx cycles
Boulder is not just annual benchmarking. The local workflow can include Level I or Level II energy assessment, retro-commissioning, implementation of cost-effective measures, and one-time lighting upgrades.

Disclosure and new-program risk
Fort Collins BEWS ties annual energy/water benchmarking to public scoring. Lakewood is newly adopted and remains important to track for covered-building-list and reporting-portal rollout.

Best next action
Turn program exposure into a building list.
The useful next step is a Colorado portfolio risk review: identify likely covered buildings, match each one to applicable programs, flag source gaps, and prioritize deadlines and documentation work.
