New BuildingsIECC 2015
• IECC 2015: Denver adopted the IECC 2015 code on 3/7/16, which was effective on 9/12/16.
• Pre-wiring for EV’s: single family and duplex projects are required to either provide a car charging outlet, or at least provide a conduit to the panel and leave adequate.
• Energy Drawings: Architects and engineers have to provide separate energy drawings with their projects. • Faster review of the IECC requirements allowing both
the A/E team & our reviewers to focus on the IECC criteria making it more likely that compliance will occur.
• Easier for our inspectors to review for IECC compliance.
New Buildings:Proposed refund of permit fees for
Net Zero buildings
• Possible opportunity in the future • 100% fee rebate for Net Zero buildings• 25% permit fee rebate for LEED Platinum
buildings• Hopeful to finalize this before the end of this
year or early next year.

Net Zero Project Example:The National Western Center
Existing BuildingsThe $1.3 Billion Opportunity
- Lighting upgrades- Tune-ups (RcX)- Efficient heating/AC- Upgraded controls
The $1.3 billion saved is money that stay’s in the pockets of local businesses and recirculates here.

Efficient buildings can save tenants ~50 cents per square foot
For a commercial office tenant renting 50,000 sqft, that’s $25,000 in savings annually

Energize Denver Goal Reduce energy consumption of commercial and multifamily buildings by
10% by the end of 2020 and double that in the following decade.
18
2012Energy Usage in Commercial and
Multifamily Buildings
38.3 million MMBTU
x 10% =3.8 million MMBTU
TaskforceGoal is to Reduce Energy Consumption this Much by 2020
• Double the 2020 goal by 2030 means another 3.8 million MMBTU reduction in energy consumption by commercial and multi-family buildings by 2030.
