Whilst sustainability is already an important driver in the new
building sector, this book explores how those involved in
refurbishment of commercial building are moving this agenda
forward. It includes chapters by developers, surveyors, cost
consultants, architects, building physicists and other players, on
the role they each can play in enabling refurbishment to be
commercially, environmentally and socially sustainable. Case
studies from northern climates show real examples of different
building types, ages and uses and will demonstrate what action has
been taken to create more sustainable buildings.
The chapters raise and discuss all the relevant issues that need
to be considered in retrofitting decision making. Changing
standards, planning, process management, financing, technical
issues, site organisation, commissioning and subsequent building
management are all considered. The book demonstrates that buildings
can be made comfortable to occupy, easy to manage and low in energy
demand and environmental impact.
