Understanding current performance
Knowing what the building actually consumes, and how that compares to similar properties.
Denver Building Performance
Energize Denver Building Performance Support
Building-performance requirements can create complicated decisions around energy use, facility upgrades, capital planning and compliance. Rocky Mountain Efficiency Group helps Denver building owners understand their facility performance and identify practical efficiency strategies with cost, operations and ROI in mind.
RMEG is an independent efficiency consultancy. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or representing the City and County of Denver.
Plain English
What Is Energize Denver?
Energize Denver is the City and County of Denver's building-performance program for existing commercial and multifamily buildings. In broad terms, it asks covered buildings to track and report energy use, and to improve energy performance over time.
For most owners the practical questions are the same regardless of the fine print: how is my building performing today, how far is it from where it needs to be, and what is the least expensive credible way to close that gap?
That is the work RMEG does. We help you establish the performance picture, then evaluate improvements on cost, savings and operational impact.
Business implications
What Does It Mean for Building Owners?
The requirement itself is only part of the decision. The bigger issue is capital: what gets funded, when, and on what evidence.
Identifying efficiency gaps
Finding the systems and operating practices responsible for avoidable consumption.
Evaluating potential improvements
Pricing realistic options rather than reacting to whatever vendor called last.
Prioritizing capital
Sequencing work so early projects help fund later ones.
Balancing compliance with ROI
Choosing improvements that hold up as investments, not just as checkboxes.
Avoiding reactive decisions
Deadline-driven purchasing is usually the most expensive way to improve a building.
How RMEG Can Help
A practical sequence, not a compliance scramble.
- 01
Understand
Review building performance, energy usage and the requirements that apply to your property type and size.
- 02
Evaluate
Identify potential efficiency opportunities across energy, water, HVAC, lighting, controls and envelope.
- 03
Prioritize
Compare improvement strategies based on cost, expected savings and operational impact.
- 04
Act
Develop a practical path forward, including sequencing, vendors and measurement.
Next Step
Turn a Requirement Into an Opportunity.
Attention that a building would not otherwise receive is genuinely valuable. Once you are examining performance seriously, the same work supports better operations.
- Lower operating costs
- Modernize aging systems
- Improve building performance and comfort
- Reduce energy and water waste
- Prioritize capital more intelligently
