Building Performance Colorado, with 2030 as the binding date.
Colorado runs a statewide performance programme with a reporting season, a per-building annual fee, and targets that become binding in 2030.
Dates and thresholds change. We confirm the current requirement for your specific building before anyone acts on it.
What the standard actually asks of a building.
Colorado sits between a reporting programme and a performance standard. Data goes in during a season rather than on a date, a per-building fee applies annually, and performance targets phase in with 2030 as the binding milestone.
The 2026 position is widely misunderstood. What happened was a conditional non-referral, which is a pause on enforcement referral rather than a repeal of the obligation. Buildings that treated it as a cancellation are the ones that will be short of time in 2029.
The condominium question is mechanical. Coverage depends on whether heating, cooling or hot water is shared and centralised, which means the screening question is about plant rather than about paperwork.

Penalties per building, and a 2030 date that is closer than it looks.
Colorado applies penalties at the building level and charges an annual per-building fee regardless. The programme cost is predictable, which is unusual and helpful for budgeting.
The real exposure is timing. A building that reads the 2026 conditional non-referral as a repeal and does nothing for three years arrives at a binding 2030 target with no runway.
What a Colorado Energy Office letter usually means.
Colorado letters are seasonal, and the dates inside them matter more than the letter itself.
Send us the letterSend us the letter itself, not a summary. We read it for the six things that decide the response: who sent it, which building and identifier it names, what period it covers, what it says you failed to do, the cure date, and whether it is a first notice or an escalation. We never quote a running penalty total, and we cure first, then talk to the regulator.
