Fort Collins Building Energy and Water Scoring (BEWS)
Building Energy and Water Scoring (BEWS) Program Overview & Reporting Instructions
The City of Fort Collins requires annual reporting of building energy and water usage through the Building Energy and Water Scoring (BEWS) program. Currently, only energy reporting is mandatory; water reporting is not required at this time.
Each spring, the City initiates the annual reporting cycle by submitting a request through the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®. This is followed by an email notification indicating that the report is due by June 1.
We’ve already set up our account so that both the City and Xcel Energy automatically import data into our instance of the Portfolio Manager. Below is a summary of the process and detailed steps to complete the report.
Steps to Submit the Report to the City
1. Log into Portfolio Manager
Access ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager® account using the credentials stored in Dashlane.
2. Confirm Building Information
Ensure all required building information is accurate and complete for the previous calendar year.
You can verify and update this information under the Details tab. This was last adjusted following the completion of the Sanctuary and basement in 2023.
3. Verify Utility Data
To confirm that utility data has been imported:
-
Click on Foothills Unitarian Church in Portfolio Manager.
-
Go to the Energy tab to see charts displaying the latest billing data. Ensure that everything for the previous year has been completed.
- Click on the meters and errors in reports will be listed at the top of the page. If there are errors, steps to fix them should be listed. Proceed once all the errors have been addressed.
4. Submit Your Report
Ensure that your electric and gas meter data covers January 1 – December 31.
Steps to submit:
If the dropdown is greyed out, refresh the page and try again.
5. Confirmation and Follow-Up
Once submitted, you should receive an email within 24 hours from the BEWS Help Center with one of the following statuses:
-
Pending Revisions (additional information required)
-
In Compliance (submission accepted)
Your report is not considered complete until you receive an “In Compliance” confirmation. You can check your building's status on the Fort Collins Benchmarking Map.

Elevator Maintenance
- The first is an annual inspection. This is completed by the state of Colorado Conveyance Section and the contractor. A passing inspection will produce the Conveyance Annual Certificate of Operation. This is normally completed in October or November.
- The second inspection is a 5 year maintenance inspection. This is completed by a 3rd party elevator group such as Morning Star.
- We must also do a monthly test to verify that communications are working properly. This is outlined below. It is also printed and left in the mechanical room.
Elevator Monthly Communication Test
All the items you will need can be found in the Elevator Mechanical Room which is in the Men’s restroom in the CW basement. The keys to the room are located in the lockbox in the Admin office.
- Barrel Keys to test locking doors
- Notebook to keep track of results
Steps to the test:
1. Press the call button in the elevator. Someone will answer over the speaker.
2. Let them know all is well and that you are conducting a monthly test of the elevator communications.
3. Ask them to tell you your location.
4. Can you see my video? If the video is working you will see call connected on the video screen. They will see you but you will not see them.
5. Can you see my response on the Yes and No buttons when I press them?
6. You are all done and can end the call now.
7. Testing the fire setting for the door using the panel outside the elevator on the main floor.
-
-
Make sure the doors are open.
-
Put the barrel key in the slot and turn it to ON. The light on the helmet will turn red.
-
Turn left to RESET and then turn it to OFF.
-
8. Fill out the form in the notebook with the results and your initials.
If there are any issues found contact the maintenance company for guidance.

Dashlane Business includes a Virtual Private Network (VPN) powered by Hotspot Shield. This VPN encrypts your internet connection to help protect sensitive information, especially when using public or unsecured WiFi networks.
The VPN service is provided through Hotspot Shield but is accessed through your Dashlane account.
When to Use the VPN
Use the Dashlane VPN when:
-
Working on public WiFi (airports, hotels, coffee shops)

Traveling
-
Accessing sensitive organizational systems remotely
The VPN is typically not required when working on a secured office network.

Navigate to the VPN section.
Step 2 — Activate VPN Access

Download the Hotspot Shield app for your device (Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android) when prompted.

Install the application.

Log in using the credentials created during activation.

Laundry Services
Laundry Services Guide
How to manage weekly laundry, event laundry, and professional laundry services — for volunteers and staff.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Weekly Laundry — Volunteer Rotation
Two volunteers cover laundry on an alternating weekly schedule, so laundry is picked up every week.
• Volunteer A comes in on odd weeks; Volunteer B comes in on even weeks.
• Each volunteer handles collection, washing, drying, and return of that week's laundry.
• To reach the volunteers, contact the Laundry Support group in Planning Center Online (PCO).
Step 2: Event Laundry — Potluck or Small Events
For events such as potlucks, a participant typically volunteers to take the laundry home.
• At the end of the event, ask for a volunteer to take the laundry.
• Bag the dirty items in garbage bags and hand them to the volunteer.
• Confirm a return date for the clean laundry before they leave.
Step 3: Large Event Laundry — Hiring Suds R Us
For large events with a high volume of laundry, contact Christine at Suds R Us. (Note: Contact Christine until Drew returns.)
• Send an email to Christine at ctina579@gmail.com letting her know laundry is ready.
• In the email, work out a pickup time and a drop-off time.
• Bag the dirty laundry in garbage bags.
• Place the bags in the admin lobby for pickup.
• Christine will notify you when the laundry is clean and ready to return.
• Pay Christine when she brings the laundry back — typically by credit card, or petty cash if needed.
