How retrofitting can modernise buildings for long-term resilience

Rather than modernising buildings, the question is how to scale solutions that make buildings more resilient, efficient and cost-effective.

Modernising buildings to enhance resilience demands long-term, collaborative strategies that are custom-fit to the needs of owners and operators. A central approach to improving energy efficiency is retrofitting ageing structures with contemporary equipment, sophisticated control systems and smart technologies.
