SWEEP Coordinates Regional Green Building Efforts in Denver Metro Area

The Colorado Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) provided funding for the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP) to coordinate the collaborative development of regional standards and best practices for green building programs and codes in the Denver metro area. After months of work with stakeholders in the region, SWEEP has put together their preliminary recommendations and will release a final version in December.

Jurisdictions who want to implement an above-code or green building program will be able to use this roadmap to assist them in first adopting the most current energy code, the 2009 IECC, and then a national green building code, such as the International Green Construction Code (IgCC).
