Benchmark Colorado

Colorado Springs, Colorado covered buildings

1,392 buildings in Colorado Springs are on the state covered list.

Every covered building in Colorado Springs owes the state a benchmarking report through ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager by November 1 each year, along with $500 in annual fees, and must reach a 2030 performance target for its property type or a 29% cut from its baseline. The state program is the only building performance standard that applies here. The next deadline is November 1, 2026, when the benchmarking report, fees, and progress survey are due.

Commercial electric service in Colorado Springs is mostly Colorado Springs Utilities. Statewide audit funding through the Building Decarbonization Enterprise, paid for by the $400 annual fee, is expected but amounts are not yet published. How the funding works.
