Finding the Value in Deep Energy Retrofits
Using stories from two iconic international projects located in Germany and North America,this session will first outline why deep energy retrofits make financial sense to building owners and investors followed by how to approach them and achieve measurable results.Globally,many Real Estate Investment Trusts,building owners and investors understand the value of “green buildings.And they also know that simply being green is not enough.They understand that true value of deep energy retrofits lies not in the energy or carbon cost savings,which remain important,but in the asset value and human performance value post-retrofit.Using pre-and post-occupancy data from real estate valuation,actual energy and water consumption,and human comfort surveys facilitates setting aggressive goals,validating designs using risk mitigation,and measuring performance against prior benchmarks.Applying the right steps in the right order,using a whole-systems or integrative approach,will be covered to demonstrate the important role these play in achieving super-efficiency.Results from featured buildings and other case studies will show that deep energy retrofits can often save 30 to 50 percent or more in energy cost and carbon and much more in water and waste while improving human health,comfort and productivity.The real economics of “future proofing real estate assets in a carbon constrained world lie in the human performance value of our building occupants.Introduction to unlocking this potential will be discussed to encourage more research,application and results.
