Insights into sustainable retrofits and renovations

DESIGN

Buildings are responsible for one quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions and with existing buildings making up the largest proportion of our building stock, it’s critical we also focus on them as we decarbonise the built environment. In this session we’ll look at the importance of retrofits through case studies exploring portfolio-wide water and energy efficiency upgrades, commercial buildings and retrofitting in Australia and Singapore. 

The webinar will also cover: 
life cycle implications of retrofits
potential risks
challenges and how to overcome them?
how to reach financial viability
how can Government policy and programs encourage existing building renovations- especially in the mid tier?
why retrofit/ refurbish buildings including key drivers
assessing the resilience of the building
