The Energize Denver Task Force, a task force created in December 2015 by the City and County of Denver, recently recommended specific energy efficiency benchmarking measures for commercial and multifamily residential buildings in Denver. The goal of the task force is to reduce the energy consumption of commercial and multifamily buildings by 10 percent by the end of 2020. If approved by City Council, Denver may implement these recommendations as soon as Jan. 1, 2017.
