Building Performance ColoradoMost commercial buildings 50,000+ SF. Annual benchmarking reports and fee payments are due November 1 after the July 1 reporting-season opening.
Colorado brief
Colorado building compliance is now a portfolio job, not a single deadline.
Colorado owners may need to manage statewide BPC reporting, Denver large-building performance targets, Denver small-building pathway deadlines, 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 next step.
Colorado focus
Colorado is a primary Peak Energy Advisors focus market.
Peak turns local program records into clear thresholds, official-source context, and practical next actions for owners and managers.
Denver
Energize Denver large and small buildingsBuildings 25,000+ SF manage annual benchmarking and EUI targets. Buildings 5,000-24,999 SF use a pathway-based small-building program with June 2026 deadline updates.
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 benchmarking support, data verification, audit/RCx planning, or an advisory 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
Large targets and small-building pathways
For 25,000+ SF Denver buildings, confirm assigned targets, benchmarking accuracy, and target-year strategy. For 5,000-24,999 SF buildings, confirm the updated 2026-2029 size ladder and whether lighting, renewables, or an alternate pathway is the cleanest route.

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

Fort Collins + Lakewood
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 likely requirements into a building list.
The useful next step is a Colorado advisory review: identify likely covered buildings, match each one to applicable programs, flag missing official records, and prioritize deadlines and documentation work.
