Optimizing the future, building by building.
How can you ensure that your commercial buildings are energy efficient, sustainable, regulatory compliant and attractive to tenants and investors, while keeping operation costs under control?
Imagine a sustainable future for commercial buildings
The answer lies in retrofitting – that is, improving building’s energy generation and supply and/or the way energy flows within the building. Making even small adjustments can go a long way in decarbonizing commercial buildings and mproving how energy flows throughout the building is the area that holds the most promise in terms of energy efficiency gains.
Three effective retrofit strategies
Unlock the potential and enhance commercial building’s performance and sustainability.
Benefits
Retrofitting increases energy efficiency and reduces carbon emissions
Renovate smarter to cut costs and boost your building’s performance. Over 30% of the EU’s energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from buildings and 80% of the energy supplied to buildings is still derived from fossil fuel sources. An effective retrofitting strategy looks at how your building can utilize renewable energy sources, such as district heating. It includes installing heat pumps and chillers that can recycle and reuse excess heat, thus lowering your building’s energy consumption, increasing its efficiency and turning it into an energy supplier as well as an energy consumer.
Retrofitting helps you comply with national and international regulations
Retrofitting will help with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), the Science Based Targets Initiative or energy performance certifications. It involves optimizing the way energy flows in your building and using digital technology to make your buildings smarter, so you can forecast and anticipate changes in energy demand and identify ways to boost efficiency. These measures reduce your building’s carbon footprint and put you on the path to achieving your climate goals.
Retrofitting improves property values and gives a solid return on investment
Optimizing building’s HVAC system can reduce energy usage by an average of 22% per building, with a payback time of 2 years. The technologies necessary to implement a successful retrofitting strategy are already available, and most offer a payback time of under 5 years. And with carbon pricing on the horizon in many countries, boosting building’s energy efficiency makes good financial sense. ESG reporting requirements are driving companies to think holistically, decarbonizing their entire operations and supply chain. Offering commercial retail space in buildings that are as energy efficient as possible will ensure properties are more attractive to companies with a sustainability focus.
