There is no single path to a high performance building retrofit; enhanced collaboration and team commitment is paramount. Experience is valuable in teams designing high-performance building retrofit projects. Energy modeling is recommended, but not required, to benchmark the building, inform the retrofit, and monitor post-occupancy. Measurable goals should be established early and accomplished throughout the duration of the retrofit project. In the end, a fundamental measure of every retrofit project is whether it can make good business sense and good environmental sense while remaining easy to maintain.
