Working Together to Create Better Efficiency

Eagle County Helps Building Owners Meet State Standards

CORE and Eagle County have partnered to benchmark the energy and water use of existing buildings in Eagle County, helping our community cut carbon emissions while ensuring sustainable, comfortable, and efficient spaces for all. By taking action today, we’re preserving Eagle County’s natural beauty and leading the way in environmental stewardship.

Benchmark with CORE

Buildings account for nearly 50% of Eagle County’s greenhouse gas emissions, making energy efficiency a key strategy in its climate action plan. To achieve a 50% emissions reduction by 2030, we must improve building performance.

Benchmarking is the First Step of Building Performance Colorado

To support property owners in meeting Colorado’s building performance regulations, Eagle County is stepping up to help. The State’s Building Performance Colorado program requires benchmarking as the first step in reducing emissions from large commercial, multifamily, and public buildings by 7% by 2026 and 20% by 2030 (compared to 2021 levels).

Starting in 2025, Eagle County is partnering with CORE to provide free, personalized support for select property owners and managers. The goal is to help buildings track energy use, improve efficiency, and meet both county and state compliance requirements.
