Session Description:
This is a FREE virtual educational event that will highlight building Energy performance.
Building performance goals are now law in the State of Colorado. Find out how these laws affect your building.
The State of Colorado passed legislation in June 2021 that requires reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in all buildings in the state over 50,000 SF. This legislation will require healthcare facilities to achieve these goals through a combination of energy and carbon benchmarking, energy efficiency improvements, implementation of renewable energy technologies, and electrification of heating systems.
A recent statistic released by the American Society for Health Care Engineering (ASHE) stated that if all health care buildings (globally) were considered a country, it would rank as the 5th largest emitter of CO2e in the world, following China, the U.S., India, and Russia. There is considerable opportunity for the healthcare community to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to promote sustainable practices. ASHE and CAHED can help provide resources to educate their members on how to achieve these goals.
CAHED is hosting a webinar on 08 February, 2022 to update our members on state legislation that will directly affect the operation and construction of most healthcare facilities in the state. Come hear the latest on sustainable policy topics such as:
-
Review of State and City of Denver legislation passed in 2021 related to building performance and carbon reduction
-
Update from the rulemaking task force on how this legislation will be defined and enforced
-
Compliance milestones required by facilities in 2022, 2026 and 2030
-
How will these rules directly affect CAHED members?
-
What resources can ASHE and CAHED provide to assist with education and compliance to these new rules?
-
Energy to care update
