With advocacy and support from SWEEP, the electric utilities in the region helped their customers save about 2,400 GWh per year from energy efficiency programs implemented in 2015, equivalent to the electricity use of 230,000 typical households. The utilities estimate that their 2015 programs will provide households and businesses about $650 million in net economic benefits over the lifetime of energy efficiency measures installed that year, while also reducing CO2 emissions by millions of tons and water consumption by billions of gallons. With support from SWEEP, states, cities and counties continued to adopt either the 2012 or 2015 version of International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). As of 2015, SWEEP estimates that about 45 percent of new housing permits in the region were issued in jurisdictions that have adopted a state-of-the-art building energy code. SWEEP also helped to advance policies that are facilitating the deployment of electric vehicles in 2015, with Colorado and Utah ranking as two of the top ten states nationwide for EV sales. 1709676 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 11 0 true 13 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 13 12 false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false true true false false X X The Organization 3034470078 2334 North Broadway Suite A Boulder CO 80304 Howard Geller Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 177396 0 18992 WILLIAM COMEAU Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRENT RICE VICE-CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRUCE RAY Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 R0N BINZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA NELSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANITA HART Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL ORTON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KRIS MAYES Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TONY SCHAFFHAUSER Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DON STURTEVANT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Wontor Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Reid Ewing Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 177396 18992 1 false true false Schlegel & Associates LLC 1167 Samalayuca Drive Tuscon AZ 85704 Energy consulting 155334 SPEER 3103 Bee Caves Road Ste 135 Austin TX 78746 Energy consulting 184424 2 142500 841824 1307977 2292301 CONFERENCES & WORKSHOPS 900099 39000 39000 39000 2184 2184 0 0 0 339 -339 -339 -339 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 1219 1219 1219 2334365 39880 2184 X 25000 25000 0 0 0 177395 115208 46419 15768 0 888499 647781 174291 66427 31153 24193 6264 696 121196 94120 24368 2708 79560 61786 15997 1777 0 3000 3000 15085 11715 3370 12577 12577 0 0 556363 556363 0 10975 8523 2207 245 25300 20240 5060 0 72094 55987 14496 1611 59731 47785 11946 0 7965 6372 1593 0 0 5025 3902 1011 112 9403 7302 1891 210 TELEPHONE & COMMUNICATIONS 10073 7822 2251 Contributions 850 850 0 2111244 1709676 312014 89554 75763 1947658 2040667 100000 267023 101037 0 0 0 0 0 32694 22622 12782 10072 0 0 0 0 9555 9555 2237018 2337094 233369 110324 233369 110324 X 1242144 1369821 761505 856949 2003649 2226770 2237018 2337094 223121 X false true X true false X 1521645 1367391 1506746 2145972 2292301 8834055 0 0 1521645 1367391 1506746 2145972 2292301 8834055 2882632 5951423 2460 787 624 2313 1845 8029 0 0 8842084 397570 0.67310 0.63210 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false false false true 14169 false false 14169 false false 32694 22622 10072 10072 X 2334704 339 339 2334365 2334365 2111583 339 339 2111244 2111244 Part X : FIN48 Footnote SWEEP has no unrelated business income, and has taken no tax positions it believes are unlikely to be upheld, or that might jeopardize its tax-exempt status, if examined by taxing authorities with full knowledge of all relevant information.
