What is a Deep Retrofit
What is a Deep Retrofit
A deep retrofit is a comprehensive renovation that enhances overall performance by addressing multiple building systems. This means reducing operational costs, achieving at least 50% energy savings, and significantly cutting greenhouse gas emissions. It improves comfort, economic value, and the resilience and adaptation of retrofitted buildings while positively impacting health outcomes.
