This Building Safety Month, we’re recognizing the importance of creating spaces that are safer, healthier, more efficient, and built for the future.
From HVAC upgrades and improved insulation to electrification and energy efficiency projects, these improvements help create more resilient and sustainable spaces across our communities.
CORE is proud to support projects across our region through funding, technical guidance, and trusted contractor connections.
Heat pumps are doing double duty this season. They keep your space cool in the summer and warm in the winter and can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings across our region. Learn more about heat pumps and available programs:

Energy Spotlight: Old Snowmass Homeowners Build Back After Devastating Fire
After a catastrophic fire destroyed their Old Snowmass home, Clint and Kate faced a heartbreaking decision: leave the valley or rebuild. They chose to stay and created something extraordinary. Their new all-electric home produces its own clean energy, eliminated fossil fuels completely, and costs a fraction to operate.
This isn't just their story. It's a blueprint for resilient mountain living.
