New Resource: High Rise | Low Carbon Multifamily Deep Retrofit Profiles
In the latest addition to the Playbook’s resource library, Building Energy Exchange’s High Rise | Low Carbon Multifamily Deep Retrofit Profiles Report showcases a global survey of deep energy and emissions retrofits of large, multifamily buildings. With a technical solutions matrix a and a detailed compendium of 14 retrofit profiles, this report provides replicable examples and practical guidance for achieving significant energy and carbon savings in the high-rise multifamily sector.
Retrofit Playbook Featured at 2024 ASHRAE Decarbonization Conference
At this year’s 2024 ASHRAE Decarbonization Conference: Decarbonizing Existing Tall Buildings held in New York City from October 21-23, members from the Retrofit Playbook team presented about the foundations of our innovative knowledge-sharing platform in real world projects that have solved the unique challenges of large building decarbonization.
In a presentation given by Brett Bridgeland, Senior Director, Sustainability, CBRE on the fundamental steps of the strategic decarbonization framework and a panel discussion featuring project representatives from The Heritage and the 345 Hudson case studies, as well as members from the Building Energy Exchange and Urban Land Institute, ASHRAE members discovered how utilizing the strategic decarbonization approach phases interventions that are appropriate for your building and are responsive to equipment life, asset, and regulatory conditions.
