- We need to transform our approach to building retrofits to meet climate change goals
- We can trigger economies of scale and learning in building retrofits to reduce costs, increase speed, and enhance value
What innovations could scale-up building retrofits?
Promising solutions include:
- Integrated design and project delivery
- Pre-fabrication of building components
- Mass customization to deal with building specific challenges
- Aggregating similar buildings into large-scale
projects
- Application of digital technologies
- Enhance the user experience
New innovations combined into new retrofit delivery models should aim to:
- Reduce costs, by at least 50%
- Increase speed, to take days instead of months
- Enhance value for users and
society
