Energy Code

Boulder energy code quick facts

Code reference
2024 City of Boulder Energy Conservation Code (CoBECC), effective December 1, 2024 (based on the 2024 ICC suite of codes with local amendments; all-electric requirements for new construction, additions, and major alterations).
Code reference
This applies to the City of Boulder (not unincorporated Boulder County, which follows the 2021 IECC with amendments effective July 1, 2026).

What door projects cover

Door projects in the Denver metro include replacing interior or exterior doors, upgrading hardware, and sometimes creating or resizing openings. Exterior work adds weatherstripping, thresholds, and flashing details. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates door packages and related framing trades when openings change. Cost is project-specific and depends on door type, count, and whether rough openings change.

text

Fit and performance

Swing clearance, stack height, and flooring transitions affect fit. Exterior doors should address weather and security needs for Front Range exposure.

text

What buyers should prepare

Door count, interior vs exterior, swing direction, and whether openings will change.
