Target Compliance Deadline if you benchmarked in 2019.
Benchmarking Deadline
Partner with our team to select the most strategic Energize Denver pathway to lower your building’s Energy Usage Index (EUI), reduce energy costs, and avoid penalties by achieving compliance. We offer to following to our clients:
Tailored energy plans that meet your building’s specific needs and goals.
Leverage Iconergy’s expertise to navigate the complex energy regulations with ease.
Ensure your building meets all necessary requirements and standards.
Improve your building’s energy performance and lower utility costs.
Our team of engineers and technical experts are well-known for their ability to provide solutions that achieve performance estimates. Once benchmarking is completed and the EUI becomes known, our team partners with our clients to lower their EUI to be in compliance with Energize Denver. A few examples of our in-house services include:
An in-depth ASHRAE Level II Energy Assessment that allows building owners to make data-driven decisions that take into account the cost of the project, annual utility savings, and estimated return on investment.
Our team will analyze your building and make suggestions where existing equipment can be upgraded as well as low- to no-cost energy efficiency measures.
Often times, there is more deferred maintenance and equipment that needs to be replaced than the budget allows. Our team works with our clients to select projects that make sense and increase building performance.
Our team will perform an Investment Grade Audit (IGA) to determine a list of capital improvement measures that achieve energy and utility savings. Those savings, in turn, pay for the overall cost of the project over a specified period of time.
Invest in renewable energy for your facility. Once energy conservation measures have been implemented, renewable energy is an optimal strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our team regularly does feasibility studies and implementation for clients.
Optimize controls sequences to make your building as efficient as possible by reducing runtime of equipment. Our solutions are open protocol-based, meaning you can choose your equipment and vendors and not be tied to one controls product line.

For buildings 25,000 square feet or larger owners must annually measure and report their building’s energy use to the city. By 2030, buildings must meet specific energy performance targets, expressed in Energy Use Intensity (EUI) limits. As part of the effort to decarbonize Denver’s buildings, certain buildings must incorporate electric heating and water heating systems instead of fossil fuel-based systems. All existing commercial and multifamily buildings 25,000 square feet or larger must meet Building Performance Standards (BPS).
The Energize Denver Map is an interactive online tool created by the City and County of Denver to provide detailed information about the energy performance of large buildings within the city. It is a key component of the Energize Denver Ordinance, which requires large commercial and multifamily buildings to report their energy usage and meet specific energy efficiency targets.
The Energize Denver Technical Guidance provides detailed instructions and best practices for building owners and managers to comply with the requirements of the Energize Denver Ordinance.
Yes, target adjustments under the Energize Denver Ordinance are possible, but they are subject to specific conditions and approval by the City and County of Denver. The ordinance allows for adjustments to energy performance targets to account for unique circumstances that might make compliance with the standard targets particularly challenging.
Failure to Benchmark: If a building owner fails to submit the required annual energy benchmarking report, they can face fines.
Failure to Meet Performance Standards: If a building does not meet the required Energy Use Intensity (EUI) targets or other energy performance standards by the set deadlines (e.g., 2025, 2030), the owner can be penalized.
Energize Denver is an initiative launched by the City and County of Denver aimed at improving energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting sustainable energy use in large commercial and multifamily buildings throughout the city. The initiative is part of Denver’s broader climate action plan to achieve significant reductions in energy consumption and carbon emissions, in line with the city’s goal to become carbon-neutral by 2040.
