Community Planning and Development (CPD), in partnership with the Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency (CASR), has begun the process to update the Denver Energy Code. The project will ensure Denver’s rules align with state and international industry standards and best practices, provide clear guidance for builders, consider cost impacts, reflect Denver’s specific context, and advance the city’s climate goals.
The Denver Energy Code is the section of the Denver Building Code that governs building energy use and sets local standards for efficiency in new and renovated buildings in Denver. The code's unique definitions for commercial buildings and residential buildings determine which provisions apply to your project. Use the informational graphic below if you are unsure.
