Executive Summary
This report helps facility managers and building technology vendors understand the viable strategies to increase the performance of existing buildings. With over 80% of buildings in many developed countries now over 25 years of age, building owners, tenants and investors look to better understand how to make their existing buildings more efficient and engaging for occupants. Based on our recent research into the evolving visions and technology ecosystem for future smart buildings, this report outlines the critical questions that building managers must answer when identifying suitable retrofit strategies. The report identifies the six promising strategies and associated technologies to make existing buildings more efficient and engaging for occupants. The options reviewed in this report include both zero-capital approaches, which are based upon analysing existing building data to identify any inefficiency, and those that analyse very granular facility data to inform strategies such as better fault detection and predictive maintenance.
