ENVD Window Retrofit

CU Boulder will retrofit the windows of the Environmental Design (ENVD) building using INOVUES’ energy-saving window technology.

Anticipated construction start: Summer 2025
Anticipated completion: Fall 2025
Budget:Ìý$500,000

Geothermal Studies

CU Boulder is studying whether geothermal energy is feasible for the campus. If successful, this renewable energy solution would help reduce reliance on fossil fuels for heating and cooling, providing a more sustainable alternative that aligns with the CAP’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by no later than 2050.

Anticipated construction start: Summer 2024
Anticipated completion: Spring 2026
Budget:Ìý$700,000

Virtual Net Metering Program

CU Boulder is taking advantage of virtual net metering, an innovative new program made possible by Colorado Senate Bill 21-26 in 2021, which enables organizations to benefit from the energy produced by offsite solar installations. The university will utilize solar power generated by the offsite net-metering solar project, without needing to install solar onsite. The offsite solar project feeds directly into the electric grid, with CU Boulder receiving credits for the renewable energy produced on its electric bills.
