Populus specializes in high performance, net-zero and near-net-zero custom residential and multi-family projects. While we work on projects nationally, Populus is the only RESNET Accredited Home Energy Rating Provider based in Boulder, Colorado and we are a privately-owned, local small business. Our company is deeply rooted locally and we strive to support economic and environmental sustainability in our community.
Our secret to success is that we love what we do. When a new opportunity comes across our desk, we ask ourselves what it will mean for the direction of our company and how we'll feel when we wake up each morning. We are blessed to have clients that we love, projects that engage us and community partnerships that encourage us to constantly keep learning and pushing the envelope in the high-performance residential market.
Drawing from a background in architecture and building science, Populus guides architects and builders through the requirements of mandatory green building codes, providing energy modeling, HERS Rating and high performance consulting services.
Populus leverages its expertise in green building certification programs, such as LEED for Homes ™ and ENERGY STAR ™ to provide client-focused project coordination and consulting services.
Populus seeks to empower building industry professionals with the information necessary to create sustainable, energy efficient buildings. Toward this end, Populus offers an intensive LEED for Homes training class designed to expand your knowledge of the USGBC’s LEED for Homes program or to study for the LEED for Homes AP Plus exam.
