Making Multi Tenant Net Zero Work in Colorado

Published by Urban Land: A 100,000-square-foot (9,300 sq m) project in an emerging transit district in Boulder, Colorado, is making the business case for net-zero-energy (NZE) multi tenant leased office buildings. The case includes lower operating costs, higher profits, reduced carbon emissions, better recruitment and retention for tenants, and happier, healthier, more productive employees. The new $40 million Boulder Commons, a mixed-use office/restaurant/retail project in two adjacent buildings, is one of the largest NZE multi tenant commercial buildings in the United States, according to New Buildings Institute (NBI) data.
