The energy retrofit market has grown quickly in the past 30 years, but too often, today’s energy retrofits achieve only modest energy savings because energy service providers focus on replacing outdated engineering systems with more efficient technologies, with little regard to how the space planning and envelope affect energy performance. It is possible, however, to realize much deeper savings, upwards of 50%, through “deep energy retrofits.” A deep energy retrofit is a design-centered, holistic approach to a retrofit in which all the interactions in a building’s systems are considered. These deep retrofits better tap into the growing momentum behind energy-efficient retrofits and sustainable/green design trends, and provide even greater value for clients than conventional energy retrofits—saving building owners more money, further reducing carbon emissions, increasing employee satisfaction, improving occupancy rates, and boosting resale value. While examples of deep energy retrofits are beginning to appear all over the country, they are still far from widespread. This session will equip architects, and facility managers with the knowledge they need to make deep energy retrofits a reality.
This session will explain how architects & facility managers can use the deep energy retrofit approach to broaden their portfolio to include retrofit projects on a wide scale of building types and sizes. To complete deep energy retrofit projects successfully, new skills are required such as energy modeling, life cycle cost assessment, commissioning, and measurement and verification. Additionally, this session will explain the market forces and government regulations that are driving the energy retrofit market and familiarize the audience with financial tools and incentives available to help make the deep energy retrofit market a reality.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will learn how to identify “retrofit triggers” and how to time energy upgrades to reach deep energy savings economically. They will learn about financial tools, from incentive programs to tax credits, that can be used to lessen the financial burden of deep energy retrofits.
- Participants will understand how to use an Integrated Delivery Process to bring key consulting team members to the table earlier in the design process. Using real world examples, participants will learn how effective team composition and management can yield successful outcomes in deep energy retrofit projects.
- Participants will understand the different approaches to measuring building energy use, how to apply energy modeling tools to predict energy savings, and how to compare alternative packages of energy savings measures to optimize cost, energy, and comfort.
- Participants will be able to understand and evaluate plans to measure and verify performance after occupancy. This ensures persistence of energy savings and overall financial performance of the project.

Report AIA Continuing Education
Attendees will earn 1.25 AIA/HSW LU. Continuing Education hours are only offered during the live event, and only to AIA members. A link to a survey
will be provided both at the end of the webinar and in a follow-up email
sent one hour after the end of the webinar. The survey will close 48
hours after the conclusion of the presentation. All attendees at each
site will submit one form: 1) page one: webinar survey and 2) page two:
CES report form. AIA members and IDP record holders
(http://www.aia.org/FreeTranscriptsforInterns) will have their credit
recorded within 10 business days days of the webinar.
PLEASE NOTE: Each AIA member or IDP record holder needs to fill out their own survey individually to
receive AIA CES credits. We are no longer awarding credit to non-AIA
members for free webinars. We are also no longer offering certificates
of completion to all webinar attendees.
