Abstract:
Energy efficient construction methods and buildings are gaining peak with a great speed. Trending green building rating systems allow ease to design, construct, operate and monitor the new building construction. What is still lacking attention is the emissions and carbon footprint of the existing buildings. These buildings contribute to the increasing amounts of carbon emissions leading to temperature rise and climate change. To tackle this, it is very important to address the issue of emissions and the impact of the existing building on the environment. This is precisely where the Green retrofitting will act. Green retrofitting helps to modify the building interiors concerning Lighting systems, HVAC systems, attainment of thermal comfort, etc. to lead a positive impact on the environment. This chapter showcases green retrofitting, its benefits and challenges. Some real-life examples of retrofitting along with the statistical data on energy savings are mentioned. The chapter ends with a listing of several ways of retrofitting under multiple heads like Energy efficiency, HVAC systems, water efficiency, Indoor Air Quality etc.
