Many thanks go out to the Colorado Chapter’s 2019 Board of Directors, committee chairs and general members for our achievement of GOLD AWARD reconigition for 2019!
The Chapter Awards Program is more or less a framework or guidebook for how to run a successful chapter. The Chapter is awarded points for meeting specific criteria and goals throughout the calendar year. At it’s core, the Program recognizes excellence in educational programming, promoting IIBEC registrations, philanthropic activities and other administrative tasks for management of the Chapter. Additionally, the archival documentation collected throughout the year aids in leadership transition from year to year. Award levels include Bonze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
2020 is off to a great start and we have our sights set on Platinum for next year!

Ms. Christy Collins, representing the City & County of Denver, provided an overview of the inclusions and exclusions for meeting green roof requirements in the jurisdiction. Mr. Francis Walker of Auric Energy provided detailed information for benefits of adding solar power to a site and how installation can compliment a roof assembly as well as work toward achieving the requirements of the Energy Program. Finally, Mr. Tracy Phillips, Director of C-Pace, provided up to date information on how building owners can use privately funded loans to faciliate building renovations such as addition of solar panels, window replacements, and other large capital expeditures which would otherwise not be feasible.
