Most buildings standing today will remain in service through 2050, making retrofits critical for climate goals. The EnerPHit standard provides a rigorous framework for deep energy retrofits achieving 75-93% reductions in heating and cooling demand while respecting the constraints of existing buildings.
Traditional concrete production contributes significantly to global CO2 emissions. Explore emerging alternatives including supplementary cementitious materials, self-healing concrete, 3D-printed structures, and innovative binders that dramatically reduce embodied carbon while maintaining structural performance.
Building energy modeling software is essential for designing efficient structures and achieving LEED certification. Compare popular tools including eQUEST, EnergyPlus, DesignBuilder, IES VE, and Carrier HAP to select the best solution for your project needs and technical requirements.
