Colorado building benchmarking

Is your building on a compliance list?

Type an address. We check the statewide covered-buildings list and the Denver, Boulder and Aspen lists, then show what each jurisdiction has published about it, with the source and its date. Free, no account. The statewide benchmarking report and fee are due in 58 days.

How it works

Facts first. Nothing is pitched until there is a result to act on.

1

Match

Your address is normalised and compared with every list we hold. You choose from up to five candidates; the tool never declares a match on its own.

2

Report

Coverage, the jurisdiction's published status, the next deadline, floor area and type where published, the source and its date, and the free way to file.

3

Analyse

For a name and an email: the energy-use gap against each target, a peer comparison, the full requirement schedule and the penalty schedule, quoted, in a printable page.

Where the lists stand

Counts straight from each jurisdiction's published list, rebuilt with every data refresh.

Questions

Is this the official list?

No. It is compiled from the jurisdictions' own published lists and datasets, each shown with its date. The official record is the jurisdiction's portal, linked on every result.

My building is not found. Am I exempt?

Not necessarily. Lists change, addresses are written differently, and Fort Collins publishes no list we can hold. Use the threshold check, or ask for the free human check.

Can I file myself for free?

Yes, in every jurisdiction we cover. Each result quotes the jurisdiction's own instructions and links its portal.
