Energy efficient commercial buildings save landlords and tenants money while reducing our community’s carbon-intensive energy use. Part of the City of Boulder’s Climate Action Plan (CAP), the 10 for Change Challenge is free, voluntary, and asks area businesses to reduce their workplace energy consumption by at least ten percent. This can be achieved through 50 possible business actions in the following five categories:

• Energy
• Waste
• Transportation
• Water
• Outreach

10 for Change challenges your business to make efforts to demonstrate leadership in environmental performance. Taking the Challenge includes your business in the county’s largest commercial energy-reduction initiative and allows you to save some serious green. Even if you do not pay the gas and electric bill for your workspace, all efforts made by your business can be quantified and attributed to the Challenge’s annual reduction targets.

10 for Change provides the necessary resources that make it easy and fun to reach your goals. The Sustainability Actions Scorecard (SAS) tool is provided to you as a registered member. Learn more about the SAS.

All Boulder County businesses are eligible and will gain recognition for their participation through an annual awards ceremony, media promotion and Boulder City Council acknowledgment.
