Zero Carbon Construction Code#
Zero Carbon Construction Code is the development and implementation of a building code that targets energy use and carbon reduction for all new construction in Fort Collins. Codes will be adopted with energy reduction milestones every 3 years, with 2030 as the target code year for achieving zero carbon emissions on all new construction in Fort Collins. When funding is available, scholarships are available to educate and expand the local workforce in this area.
