Building Energy Use Benchmarking

About the Energy Performance for Buildings Act (HB21-1286)

In the 2021 Regular Session of the Colorado General Assembly, the Energy Performance for Buildings Act (HB21-1286) was passed, concerning measures to improve energy efficiency in buildings.

The Energy Performance for Buildings Act:

• Requires owners of large buildings to collect and report on energy use benchmarking data to comply with rules regarding performance standards relating to:
  • Energy efficiency
  • Greenhouse gas emissions
• Establishes a process requiring certain electric utilities, such as Mountain View Electric Association, to provide energy-use data when requested by a building owner.

Section 1 of the act requires owners of certain large buildings, on an annual basis, to collect and report energy use to the Colorado Energy Office.

The full version of HB21-1286 can be found on the Colorado General Assembly website.
