Part 3: Implementing a Successful Retrofit


Once you’ve laid the groundwork to create a building retrofit plan, what’s next? How do you implement the plan? Discover the answers from the real-world examples and lessons learned presented in this session.

You’ll hear stories from the trenches that illustrate some of the critical considerations and solutions for the successful implementation of existing building renewals work, particularly the unique challenges presented by occupied buildings. These stories will demonstrate the unique implementation challenges you’ll face when renewing an existing building.

You’ll gain a high-level understanding of the critical steps for implementing your energy or emissions retrofit plan as well as practical solutions to minimize occupant disruption and ensure your retrofit project will meet its expected performance.

What you’ll learn

  1. Recognize the implementation challenges you’ll face when renewing an existing building.
  2. Explain practical solutions for implementing your energy or emissions retrofit plan through real-world examples.
  3. Gain a high-level understanding of the critical steps for implementing your retrofit plan to ensure successful implementation.
  4. Identify key considerations for implementing a retrofit plan on your occupied building.

Tightening energy and emissions regulations, aging building stock, and increasingly extreme weather are converging to make retrofit planning more urgent and more complex than ever. RDH’s retrofit course series helps building owners, managers, and design professionals define the challenge, develop a tailored retrofit roadmap, and prepare for successful implementation that aligns carbon and energy goals with long-term asset management.
