After receiving great feedback on the initial proposal draft released in 2021, the city published a revised policy draft that addresses many of the key themes heard from residents, industry, and community groups. In conjunction with the revised proposal, the city has also published the public review drafts for the proposal's specific code language. All materials will be available for review through March 14, 2022.

Comments can be submitted online or at an upcoming event.

Be a part of the 2022 Denver building code adoption process

Starting last month, technical advisory committees began meeting to consider amendment proposals for the Denver Building and Fire Code and the Denver Green Code. These groups are advisory committees only. During committee hearings, members hear arguments in favor of and against proposed revisions, discuss the merits, feasibility, and impacts of changes, and make recommendations on all proposed amendments, a number of which were developed in the areas of sustainability and energy-conservation from ideas championed by the working groups.

Denver’s Office of Climate Action, Sustainability, and Resiliency offers periodic overviews of proposed energy and sustainability amendments as they move through the technical advisory committees.

Denver's Office of Climate Action, Sustainability & Resiliency's (CASR) new webinar library is an excellent resource for community members, building professionals, and other stakeholders to share ideas and information in the transition of Denver’s building stock to Net Zero Energy. Upcoming webinar:
