Aspen City Council Work Session
The City Council work session focused on the proposed adoption of the Colorado Model Low Energy and Carbon Code and building electrification requirements. The discussion centered on comparing the state-minimum electric-ready requirements with a proposed approach of all-electric construction with specific exceptions and partial electrification for major renovations. The Council evaluated options for providing resiliency in all-electric buildings, including the potential use of generators or emergency gas heat, and reviewed the anticipated environmental and financial impacts of these code updates as part of the Aspen Sustainability Action Plan.
