Working Together to Create Better Efficiency
Eagle County Helps Building Owners Meet State Standards
CORE and Eagle County have partnered to help large commercial and multifamily buildings cut carbon emissions and ensure 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.
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.
Improve Your Building Performance
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 large commercial, multifamily, and public buildings to benchmark utility data and select a building performance compliance pathway by July 1, 2025. These steps will help us meet state goals to reduce large building emissions by 7% by 2026 and 20% by 2030 (compared to 2021 levels).
