By James Newcomb and Eric Maurer

Jump to Section

Fort Collins Utilities has been working to meet its clean energy goals including a flagship effort, called FortZED, to build a net-zero energy district in downtown Fort Collins. Fort Collins Utilities and its partners worked with the Electricity Innovation Lab (e-Lab) to design and carry-out a two-day charrette on November 7th and 8th, 2012. The charrette team identified innovative solutions to some of Fort Collins’ most difficult challenges around planning, investment, and execution of efficiency and renewable energy.
