Protecting our natural resources is important to Fort Collins. By applying techniques and disciplines from many industries, we can affect the built environment in a positive way and take care of our limited resources.

FortZED elevates high performance in the built environment to a new level by engaging energy customers in the net zero energy district through ongoing education and outreach, innovative tools, and cutting-edge technology.

Fort Collins is a leader in green building. The City, Poudre School District, and Colorado State University all believe in building to LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, standards. Many private developers have the same values and LEED certified homes and commercial properties are becoming the norm in Fort Collins.

Greening our built environment saves money, saves energy and improves our overall environment.
