CORE's Energy Smart program continues to grow at a steady pace. Typically, the commercial sector
represents approximately 50% of the energy consumption of all buildings. CORE continues to offer
incentives to the commercial sector and partners with City of Aspen Utilities and Holy Cross Energy to
expand these efforts. We are able to leverage the impact of our resources by offering larger rebates to
owners of large buildings, which include public and private buildings and multifamily complexes. This
program enables CORE to work directly with building owners and operators to help them move ahead with
big energy-savings projects. Funds will also be used to target multi-family unit complexes since many have
sought out our services and we would like to be able to incent them to invest in a complete building retrofit
for the greatest efficiency gains. The Small Lodge Program funding matches the city of Aspen's funding.
