Description
Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC Building Enclosure Symposium in Orlando, Florida. This course includes the recording of the session, a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions, and surveys required to claim continuing education credit.
Session Description
As net-zero targets loom, the push is on to complete deep energy retrofits. The retrofits necessary to achieve these lofty targets are typically extensive and can be very intrusive. How do we implement them at occupied buildings? These projects are like a three-ring circus, with competing interests on all sides. Through the use of case studies, this session will explore how the building enclosure consultant can become the ringmaster, balancing the needs of project stakeholders, the surprises that come with existing buildings, and the quality and durability of the building enclosure necessary to achieve the project’s energy and carbon reduction goals.
