Not satisfied with the energy reductions achieved through voluntary incentives, Boulder is considering creating a mandatory energy-efficiency program for the commercial and industrial sector.
The program would be similar to Boulder’s SmartRegs program, which introduced energy-efficiency requirements for rental housing.
Under SmartRegs, area landlords have until 2018 to bring their buildings up to more stringent energy-efficiency standards. They can apply for a variety of incentives to help cover their costs.
Measures aimed at the commercial sector have been voluntary.
The city has seen some private businesses make impressive strides.
