CASR & The City of Denver have made updates to the requirements for Energize Denver:
- HVAC: Additional flexibility for owners to choose HVAC replacement timing (end of service life) if that is part of their compliance strategy.
- Target Cap: A cap for the maximum required reduction so that no building has to save more than 42%. With this change, one-third of the buildings would benefit and Denver would still meet its goals.
- Vacancy: An alternate compliance option just for buildings facing vacancy or financial distress.
- Lease Changes: An alternate compliance option for timeline adjustments related to lease termination.
- Adaptive Reuse: A 2030 target adjustment for adaptive reuse projects for saving the building.
- Penalties: Adjusting the penalty rate schedules for timeline adjustments so buildings have more time to turn in applications at the lower penalty rate.
- Rebates: Developing rebates for energy audits and for early compliance energy efficiency measures.
- Other: Additions and guiding information for the Technical Guidance manual.

MTech Energy expands our diversified services for clients to include energy efficiency retrofits, lighting improvements, renewable energy generation, and building envelope improvements. Through our in-house Energy and Design-Build teams we can offer comprehensive projects to include Mechanical, Electrical, Solar, Geo-Thermal, Building Envelope, and Measurement & Verification.
At MTech, we understand the importance and timeliness of building a energy team to provide this valuable offering to the marketplace. We have developed a team specifically designed to meet Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Goals, Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goals, and deferred maintenance benchmarking for facility owners in Colorado.
Our energy division will focus on offering energy based solutions which will incorporate Federal incentives such as the Federal Inflation Reduction Act, utility rebates and utility bill savings to expedite return on investment and reduce the financial impact of electrification and energy efficiency mandates on facility owners.
MTech now has a comprehensive “turnkey” solution for energy projects moving forward for our existing and new clients. This will allow us to be proactive in responding to the electrification and energy efficiency requirements that will be enacted by local municipalities in the coming years.
Energy Audits and Assessments
Our team of experts can conduct a comprehensive audit and utility analysis to identify needs of not only your mechanical systems but all of your building systems. We provide an unbiased data analysis and projected return on investment scenarios for building improvements. Focusing on those high impact areas of energy use within your facility while also assessing the useful life of your mechanical equipment helps to develop a holistic approach to improving your facilities’ performance. Our process allows you to pick Energy Conservation Measures (ECM) with a faster return on investment and use those savings as a vehicle to address your deferred maintenance.
System Upgrades Through Design-Build
MTech Energy will execute projects utilizing design-build practices to expedite schedules, commit to budgets, and optimize performance of the energy enhancements completed for our clients. Energy upgrades will be completed “turnkey” for our clients with MTech as the leader of the process.
Benchmarking and Retro-Commissioning
We are experts in navigating the changing landscape of new energy rules and regulations that can lead to uncertainty for our clients. Our development team will help you navigate the unprecedented tax credits and tax deductions available for Energy Improvement retrofits.
Additionally, our Performance Verification Group within MTech can help you improve your building systems’ performance through review of control systems operations, retro-commissioning and building optimization opportunities.
