Both the Colorado Building Performance Standards (Regulation 28) and the Energize Denver Ordinance have gone into effect with deadlines rapidly approaching for compliance with data center energy requirements. Special rules apply to data centers which affect every building in Denver over 25,000 square feet and every building in Colorado over 50,000 square feet. The speakers for this session manage the programs for the City and County of Denver and the Colorado Energy Office.
Join the 7×24 Rocky Mountain Chapter on Thursday, March 28th, to learn about the requirements, what you must do to comply, and get your questions answered by the people administering these programs.
