4 Reasons to Retrofit Buildings for Net-zero Operations

Global building owners and operators recognize that much work is needed to help meet the IPCC-specified goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C by 2050. While many progressive organizations have taken the lead by announcing net-zero carbon ambitions, the concrete steps to achieve these goals are more challenging.

This is especially challenging for existing properties, many of which may be older buildings, of which 50% will likely be in use in 2050. The global energy crisis increases the urgency for buildings to reduce energy consumption, costs, and dependence on fossil fuels.

If you’re a facility manager, your deep knowledge of each building’s operation puts you in the ideal position to champion the journey to decarbonization. In this post, you’ll understand why it is not only crucial for the planet to decarbonize your existing buildings but also good for business. With the proper roadmap and solutions, you can accelerate the journey.
