The Colorado Energy Office (CEO) has partnered with CLEAResult, an experienced energy efficiency and decarbonization solutions provider, to conduct Scope 1 Emissions Assessments. Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse (GHG) emissions that occur from sources that an organization controls or owns (e.g., emissions associated with fuel combustion in boilers, furnaces, vehicles). By participating in a Clean Air Scope 1 Emissions Assessments, you are contributing to Colorado's efforts to combat climate change and taking proactive steps to maximize the impact of your energy efficiency investments.
Private manufacturing and industrial entities and local governments that engage in an industrial process in Colorado are eligible to apply. See more about how to apply in the “Submit an application” section below.
Contact CLEAResult at CAPassessments@clearesult.com with any questions or to learn more.

The Colorado Energy Office (CEO) is offering ASHRAE level-II assessments to eligible facilities. This includes energy production, government industrial, industrial, and manufacturing facilities. CEO will cover 70% of the cost for GEMM 2 facilities, with the business responsible for the remaining 30%. If your facility is not regulated by GEMM 2, CEO will cover 100% of the assessment cost. The total cost of the assessment is determined by a facility’s heat energy usage.
Energy usage (mmBTU) | Total cost of assessment | GEMM 2 participant co-pay (30%) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - 9,999 | $10,000 | $3,000 |
| 10,000 - 34,999 | $17,000 | $5,100 |

Schedule an assessment
If accepted to the program, a CLEAResult representative will contact you to schedule an on-site assessment of your facilities. Collecting your operation’s historic resource usage data is a critical first step, including (where applicable):
- Electricity usage
- Natural gas usage
- Propane usage
- Other fossil fuel usage (e.g. diesel or gasoline)
- CO2 usage
- Water usage
This data, coupled with the on-site facility audit, will allow CLEAResult to identify opportunities for efficiency improvements in your facility.
Report delivery
After conducting a technical energy assessment, CLEAResult will deliver a summary report about your facility. This report will detail current performance metrics of your facility, recommended efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reduction opportunities, and projected resource usage and cost saving potential.
Alongside your assessment report, CLEAResult will help you assess available financing options to pay for the implementation of efficiency measures.
