Retrofitting

Retrofit and refurbishment of existing buildings is the key to upgrade  the performance of building assets. It involves different modifications applied to the existing building aiming to enhance energy efficiency.Homes that have undergone a Home Performance upgrade are more comfortable and durable can reduce the operational costs, particularly in older buildings. Retrofitting also can help to attract tenants and gain a market edge as well.

Some of the key benefits that can be experienced after execution of retrofitting.

Long-term cost savings : Reduction of operational energy and water use by incorporating new technology, services and equipment over the life of the building.

Increased comfort and well being : Building facades and interiors may be redesigned and occupant wellbeing, satisfaction can be enhanced by improving thermal comfort.

Lower greenhouse emissions and improved water self-sufficiency :

Reduce reliance on traditional means of energy and water, thus contributing to lower greenhouse emissions and improved water self-sufficiency.

Future-proof buildings : Buildings will meet current demands of technology, energy and water use ensuring that they last many years into the future, without needing to be demolished and rebuilt. Buildings have the opportunity to be “relifed” and their current life cycles extended into the future.

Preserve cultural and heritage significance : Buildings having cultural and heritage significance can still be retained through interior refurbishment over their facades or building envelopes so they can meet current standards and expectations of design, functional use, technical requirements.
