Abstract: Retrofitting or renovating an existing facility is most of the time more cost-effective and economic than investing in a new facility. Reducing and conserving energy is not the only purpose for retrofitting existing facilities but the idea should be to create a high-performance facility by adopting the integrated, whole-building design methodology, to the project during the initial phase i.e. Preliminary Design Stage that ensures all important design objectives are met. The unique aspects for retrofit of buildings must be given special importance while designing.
