The Denver buildings. This allows Denver and our local building 2030 District has positioned our city as a beacon industry to share a common set of performance for efficient resource use around energy, water targets and metrics. It allows us to benchmark and transportation and the market and economic and improve our city as a whole and to share development that results from investments in high best practices and work together to achieve performance.

It also allows us to leverage national leadership position that is also visible in our economies of scale to provide unique benefits and exemplary ENERGY STAR and LEED buildings. opportunities to Denver 2030 District members.

The 2030 District is led by the private sector, 2030 Districts are designated urban areas primarily by the building owners and managers that committed to meeting the energy, water and comprise the district. And while it is private sector transportation emissions reduction targets of the led, the support the District gets from the City of 2030 Challenge for Planning developed by the Denver and local community groups such as the building industry nonprofit, Architecture 2030. Downtown Denver Partnership and USGBC is vital to our success.

2030 DISTRICT2030 DISTRICT REDUCTION REDUCTION GOALS GOALS DISTRICT GOALS

The energy baseline for the 2030 District energy goal is the Department of Energy’s Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) 2003 data set, which is the same data set used to baseline ENERGY STAR Buildings. For water and transportation carbon, no national standard exists for benchmarking, so the Denver 2030 District developed custom regional baselines. The water baseline was developed in collaboration with Denver Water using an average of 2010 and 2011 water data, which were years with typical weather and precipitation. The transportation baseline was developed in collaboration with the Downtown Denver Partnership using the data from their 2013 commuter survey to baseline future transportation carbon reductions.
