concern that in certain contexts
an association restriction on in-
house rental management will
cause the units to be deemed a
security and therefore regulated
by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. This, of course,
would bring with it a new level
of complexity and legal issues
that are beyond the scope of
this article.
For those having problems
in a condominium commu-
nity, the simplest option is to
start by adopting a policy. As
with many new condominium
community issues, many suf-
fer simply because there is not
clear guidance in the existing
community documents for the
novel situation. A community
can amend the declaration or
rules and regulations to require
that all leases, of any length,
incorporate the project decla-
ration and rules and regula-
tions. These amendments also
can require any owner leasing
his property to deliver a copy
of all leases to the board, pro-
vide a copy of the rules and
regulations to the tenants, pro-
vide the management company
with 24-hour contact informa-
tion, provide tenants with cer-
tain project information (access,
parking, amenity use, etc.) and
so forth. The amendments can
clarify and confirm that an
owner remains liable for all
acts of its tenants and establish
a schedule of charges for ser-
vices (opening doors, address-
ing complaints, etc.) or fines
for instances in which problems
arise (noise, abuse of amenities,
conflict with neighbors, etc.).
These steps are less controver-
sial than the above restrictions
and are equally applicable to
rentals of all forms. However,
many communities have not
adopted such regulations or
have not updated policies to
speak to this new rental format.
With the changes in our digi-
tal age, it is never best simply
to resist. The better approach is
to grow and adapt to the new
form or medium, while protect-
ing what is good in the past
and present. In the context of
online owner-managed short-
term rentals, this seems espe-
cially true. The change is likely
here to stay, so taking too strict
an approach to this change will
be more difficult and perhaps
unsuccessful. Taking a mod-
erate approach, through the
available tools, that protects the
community and value of the
individual units should lead
to greater harmony within the
association and full enjoyment
by the owners.s
will practice auditing building
spaces and applying the APPA
protocol to a real space.
Attendees will review real-
world examples of waste
stream audit for Session 2.
Most people think they know
how to recycle and compost,
but many are surprised to learn
all that goes into the process,
including what materials can
and cannot be recycled or com-
posted. The session also will
teach attendees how to conduct
a waste audit through the prac-
tical application in an operat-
ing building.
Session 3 will cover energy
audits. Attendees will prac-
tice looking for clues related
to energy efficiency opportu-
nities in operating buildings
through historic energy use
and demand. They also will
conduct an energy audit walk-
through and learn about the
types of potential improve-
ments that can be uncovered.
Session 4 will offer hands-
on experience on how to mea-
sure airflow and how to apply
outside air testing concepts to
a real system in an operating
building.
The Colorado Department
of Public Health and Envi-
ronment Pollution Preven-
tion Advisory Board provided
funding to reduce registration
fees and supplement other
costs associated with admin-
istering the course. Attendees
will help USGBC Colorado and
PPAB explore the connection
between hands-on learning
and quantifiable environmen-
tal impacts.
This opportunity is open to
anyone interested in participat-
ing. Those interested can learn
more by visiting usgbccolora-
do.org or emailing
bccolorado.org.
Attending a session at USGBC
Colorado’s upcoming Rocky
Mountain Green conference
also can offer a sense of what
EBOM certification is all about.
Presented in Partnership with
Denver Metro BOMA, three
property managers and one
building engineer will address
successes, challenges and best
practices of managing LEED
certified- and Energy Star-rat-
ed buildings. They will share
their experiences in managing
properties to reach the building
owner’s goals while keeping
environmental issues a prior-
ity. For more information visit
