About this session:
The decarbonization challenges of existing buildings is noted in the many reports on deep retrofits of large buildings. The IRA provides funds at low interest rates for deep retrofits when the projects have greater reductions of GHGs even if they cost more in initial costs. The Canadian federal government suggests using a 40-year lifecycle cost fossil fuel savings that should reflect the rising price of carbon up to $300/ton. This presentation will review studies on interior and exterior energy savings options for windows while discussing the recladding of buildings and interior insulation options. The speakers will address how to model retrofit options and choose the right size new electric HVAC equipment to meet the changed loads. Join this session to learn new insights and solutions for the decarbonization of existing buildings.
1. How to collect and benchmark data for the carbon footprint of the facility
2. How to interpret data on energy and its environmental impacts resulting from the building envelope.
3. How to evaluate building envelope improvements for both costs and savings.
4. How to perform and sumarize your decarbonization program in required reports.
