Integrated Design Assistance Program

Expertise and funding for new commercial buildings and major renovations

The Integrated Design Assistance Program (IDAP) offers financial incentives and free technical support to those interested in delivering high-performance buildings that exceed building code requirements for energy performance.

Buildings designed and constructed using this program typically:

• cost less to operate;
• have reduced environmental impacts; and
• offer higher levels of occupant satisfaction.

City Office Building (215 N. Mason St.) – Exterior shading reduces direct sun on the first floor. Interior light shelves distribute daylight.

Fort Collins Utilities customers can select from two options, the Whole Building Approach and the Prescriptive Approach. Each of these approaches provides different levels of incentives and technical support.
