After over 18 months of working to develop a new building and fire code, the city has adopted the 2022 Denver Building and Fire Code and the 2022 Denver Green Code. These new codes will apply to all new construction, remodels, and building renovations citywide – and provide pathways for development projects to achieve even greater energy performance and holistic sustainability.
March 1, 2023, and May 1, 2023, Effective Dates
The new code will become effective on May 1, 2023, with certain provisions needed to implement the city’s Energize Denver requirements taking effect earlier on March 1, 2023. During the grace period between the adoption date and the effective date, projects will be able to apply for building permits under either the 2019 building code or the new 2022 building code. View the code transition policy(PDF, 138KB) for more details.
Project Timeline
- In April 2021, city staff began identifying differences between the 2019 Denver Building and Fire Code, including the Denver Green Code, and the 2021 international codes listed above.
- In May 2021, working groups met to discuss and develop ideas and concepts to help Denver raise the bar on energy performance requirements as well as holistic sustainability.
- From May-July 2021, we accepted formal code amendment proposals from the public.
- From January to July 2022, technical advisory committees met to consider code amendment proposals.
- On January 9, 2023, Denver City Council adopted the 2022 Denver Building and Fire Code and the 2022 Denver Green Code.

If you missed our code adoption briefing on November 8, get caught up with the following resources.
The period to propose an amendment for the 2022 Building and Fire Code and 2022 Denver Green Code was from May-July, 2021. Below you will find proposals received by code section.
Baseline Amendments
These baseline amendments incorporate the 2021 model I-code language plus any current (2019) Denver code amendment provisions that are more stringent then, additive to, or in disagreement with the 2021 model I-Code language. It also includes grammatical and errata revisions, such as incorrect cross references or typos. The only variation to the previous statement is that the ‘baseline’ of the 2021 DGC is the 2019 DGC (not the 2021 IgCC).

Supplemental Meeting
Given the number of proposals received, we've scheduled a 2-hour supplemental meeting to discuss amendment proposals that we will not have time to get to during formal committee hearings. The amendment proponent and those who wish to ask questions, speak in favor or against, or propose a modification will be able to do so, and a vote will still be held on each proposal. Review the agenda and recording of the supplemental meeting below. If you have questions, or if you would like to join the meeting, please email CPDCommunications@denvergov.org.

Supplemental Meeting
Given the number of proposals received, we've scheduled a 2-hour supplemental meeting to discuss amendment proposals that we will not have time to get to during formal committee hearings. The amendment proponent and those who wish to ask questions, speak in favor or against, or propose a modification will be able to do so, and a vote will still be held on each proposal. Review the agenda and recording of the supplemental meeting below. If you have questions, or if you would like to join the meeting, please email CPDCommunications@denvergov.org.

2021 Working Groups
Prior to formal code committee hearings, the City and County of Denver created two working groups, that included city staff and community subject matter experts, to consider updates to energy and holistic sustainability requirements in Denver's building codes and regulations. We hosted a series of targeted working group discussions that were focused around: raising the bar on energy performance, and defining holistic sustainability priorities and ideas beyond those related to energy. Below you will find meeting agendas, notes and recordings.
