Honeydew in Denver

Everything we manage for a Denver building.

Compliance is how most clients meet us. Verification, supply where the market allows it, solar screening and bill auditing are why they stay.

No obligation. We will tell you if you do not need us.
What we run in Denver
Compliance Benchmarking and Energize Denver 25,000 sq ft and up, filed with the City and County of Denver.
Deadline June 1, annual The 2026 benchmarking and third-party verification deadlines have already passed. Approved extensions carry a hard published date.
Verification Required Denver requires third-party verification, and the 2026 verification deadline has already passed for buildings without an extension.
Energy supply Regulated market No retail choice here, so the savings work is efficiency, incentives and bill auditing.

Dates and thresholds change. We confirm the current requirement for your specific building before anyone acts on it.

How the pieces fit together in Denver.

A covered building in Denver is dealing with an annual filing, a set of local rules that change more often than anyone expects, and a capital plan that has to satisfy an owner or a board. Handled separately, those generate vendors who do not talk to each other.

We are the accountable partner across all of it. We are not engineers and we do not pretend to be. We make sense of the rules, verify the data, bring in the right specialists, and give the building a plan it can act on.

The practical benefit is that the data gets built once. The same verified floor area and clean utility record that drives your compliance position also drives a supply bid, an incentive application, or a solar screening.

Local detail that changes the answer
2026 deadlines have passed
Both benchmarking and verification for 2026 are behind us. Denver buildings need triage rather than a calendar entry.
Deemed compliance is narrow
It covers the state performance standard only. Two filings and the state fee still apply.
An association regime exists
Condominiums and homeowner associations have an alternate compliance option path with a reserves test, which is worth analysing properly.
The services behind this page

How we start

Deadline work first. Everything else on your schedule.

1
Position review
Coverage, current data, floor area, and what is outstanding.
2
Close the compliance gap
Filings, verification where it applies, and any notice response.
3
Review energy supply and procurement
No retail choice here, so we review rate class, tariff fit and billing errors instead.
4
Screen the opportunities
Incentives, solar, audits, and measures that also improve the compliance position.
5
Manage it forward
One point of contact, one set of numbers, and reminders that arrive before the deadline.
Why now

Two filings, one fee, and deadlines already behind us.

Denver buildings that assumed deemed compliance covered everything are frequently missing a benchmarking filing and a state fee, and the 2026 verification date has already gone.

That makes Denver a triage market this year rather than a planning one. The first call establishes what is actually outstanding and whether an extension applies.

Received a letter?

What an Energize Denver letter usually means.

Denver is a triage market this year, and the letter usually confirms it.

Send us the letter
Benchmarking or verification non-compliance
The June 1, 2026 deadlines have passed. If an extension was approved, it carries a hard published date rather than an open window.
Performance standard correspondence
About your 2028 and 2032 targets, or the alternate compliance options for associations. Deemed compliance covers the state performance standard only.

Send 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.

Questions about each of these services

With whatever has a date on it. Usually that is the filing or the standard, and the supply and advisory work follows once the compliance position is clean. We would rather earn the second engagement than bundle it.

Yes, and we do it constantly. A clear thirty-minute presentation is often what unlocks a decision.

Yes. Benchmarking files to both, and the state fee remains due regardless of your Denver position.

That is the right conversation, and 2028 and 2032 are the dates to plan against. For associations there is also an alternate compliance regime worth analysing before assuming the standard path applies.

No. It covers the state performance standard only. Benchmarking still files to both the city and the state, and state fees remain due.

Establish whether an extension applies and what its hard date is, then file. That sequence matters, because the extension window is published rather than negotiable.
