Boulder Building Performance Ordinance

Is Your Boulder Building BPO Compliant?

The City of Boulder requires commercial buildings to meet energy performance standards. LED lighting upgrades are one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to comply — and Xcel Energy rebates can cover up to 50% of the cost.

⚠ What the BPO Requires
  • Commercial buildings over 5,000 sq ft must meet specific energy performance benchmarks set by the City of Boulder
  • Non-compliant buildings face escalating fines and mandatory reporting requirements
  • Deadlines are tiered by building size — many Boulder businesses are already past their first benchmark
  • Lighting typically accounts for 30–40% of a commercial building's energy use — upgrading to LED is one of the fastest paths to compliance
  • Failure to comply can affect your building's operating permits and lease renewals
