FAQs

How does the 2025 Denver Building Code update affect my tenant improvement timeline?

As of January 1, 2026, all new commercial interior projects must comply with the 2025 Denver Commercial Building Code (DCBC). If your project was submitted before the December 31, 2025 deadline, it may still fall under 2022 codes. However, for 2025 designs, the City and County of Denver has streamlined the “Application Intake” process. While standard reviews currently take 8 to 12 weeks, the new code introduces stricter “Application Expiration” rules (Section 131.2), meaning permits must be issued within 18 months of enactment or they expire. We help Denver business owners navigate these transitions to avoid costly redesigns.

What are the "Energize Denver" requirements for commercial renovations in 2025?

If you are renovating a commercial space larger than 5,000 square feet, you are subject to the Energize Denver Building Performance Policy.

For spaces 5,000–24,999 sq. ft.: You must either install LED lighting for 90% of the space or purchase renewable energy.

For spaces 25,000+ sq. ft.: You must meet specific Energy Use Intensity (EUI) targets. Our team specializes in “electrification” retrofits—replacing gas-fired HVAC systems with electric heat pumps—which is often required during major tenant improvements to meet Denver’s 2040 net-zero goals.

Do I need a Denver Site Development Plan (SDP) for an interior office remodel?

Generally, interior-only tenant improvements in districts like RiNo or the DTC do not require a full Site Development Plan (SDP). However, if your “Change of Use” (e.g., converting a warehouse to a retail showroom) impacts exterior lighting, landscaping, or parking, Denver’s Community Planning and Development (CPD) may require an SDP. We provide a preliminary code analysis to determine if your interior construction triggers these “Change of Use” requirements, which can add 4–6 months to a project if not identified early.
