DENVER 2030 DISTRICT 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Denver’s High Performance Building District WHY THE DISTRICT 2030 Districts form out of the communities they What makes the district concept unique and serve. They rise up because of a shared vision of important is that it leverages the performance of the future where high performance buildings are our urban core as a district rather than individual the foundation for economic vitality. 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 45 Buildings 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 - a total of - performance. The 2030 District catalyzes Denver’s our common goals. 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. 20 Million s.f. 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.

As the Denver 2030 District builds it’s district energy, water and transportation analytics engine we will be able to provide building members with more robust custom reporting. These custom reports, working privately and directly with individual building members, will include comparative analysis of member building performance compared to both district-wide performance and representational peer group performance. In addition, we are going to leverage the strength of our professional stakeholder members to provide free basic energy and water audits and discounted detailed audits. Our goal is to not only help member buildings understand how their performance compares to the district and its goals but to provide information and tools to improve performance. DISTRICT GOALS The Denver 2030 District goals call for incremental reduction targets for new and existing buildings set by the 2030 Challenge for Planning, which was issued by architecture 2030, a non-profit organization committed to transforming the built environment. 10% 20% 35% 50% ENERGY 10% 20% 35% 50% 2015 2020 2025 2030 10% 20% 35% 50% WATER 10% 20% 35% 50% EXISTING BUILDINGS 2015 2020 2025 2030 10% 20% 35% 50% TRANSPORTATION 10% 20% 35% 50% 2015 2020 2025 2030 CARBON 2015 2020 2025 2030 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% ENERGY 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 50% WATER 50% NEW BUILDINGS + Now MAJOR RENOVATIONS 50% TRANSPORTATION 50% Now CARBON Now 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.
