Denver Commercial Lighting Rebates

Denver has a deep stock of older commercial buildings: warehouses along the rail corridors, converted industrial space, retail strips, and mid-rise offices. Many still run fluorescent, metal halide, or high pressure sodium lighting.

Local notes

What we watch for in Denver

Denver has its own building performance rules for larger buildings. Lighting is only one part of that, but an upgrade can support the wider plan.
Downtown and Cherry Creek garages often run lighting around the clock, which usually makes them the first place we look.
Older Denver buildings frequently have mixed lighting from several past remodels. Expect a fixture count rather than one single type.
