When it comes to energy retrofits, every building needs a good plan. A “like-for-like” approach may not accommodate climate adaptation needs and frequently changing building code requirements.
In this session, you’ll identify the steps needed to develop a custom retrofit roadmap at both the building-specific and portfolio level. You’ll learn how to define goals that meet your internal objectives and each project’s external requirements, such as greenhouse gas and carbon reduction, thermal and indoor air quality improvements, and fire/smoke and flood mitigation.
You’ll discover how to establish a clear picture of your project’s starting point and identify the specific initiatives that will meet your project goals. By examining case studies and using visual tools designed for multiple building types, you’ll come away with a solid understanding of the retrofit roadmap development process.
What you’ll learn
- Understand how to set goals that align with both internal objectives and external retrofit project requirements.
- Identify the starting point for your building retrofit projects and how to prioritize your projects at the portfolio level.
- Recognize how a “like-for-like” approach may no longer be valid and how you can customize your capital planning measures to accommodate climate adaptation and upcoming code changes.
- Visualize the outcomes of your retrofit roadmap planning process and chart a path toward your project goals.
