Description
The Large Building Decarbonization Showcase Grant Program, administered by the Colorado Energy Office (CEO), aims to accelerate emissions reductions in large buildings across Colorado by funding implementation projects that demonstrate innovative, cost-effective solutions. The program specifically targets buildings regulated under the Building Performance Colorado (BPC) program, with the goal of helping them achieve or surpass state-mandated greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. This second and final round of funding focuses on supporting projects that are ready for implementation and can serve as replicable models for the state's decarbonization goals.
