Deep Energy Retrofit with Tenants in Place

The NESEA website will be offline for a system upgrade most of the day on Saturday, July 19th.

Retrofitting existing buildings with occupants in place will be key to meeting our emissions reductions targets. This session will explore how a project team planned and executed a retrofit to target net-zero energy use, improve thermal comfort and air quality, protect the building from moisture, meet historic guidelines, and stay within a realistic budget – all while keeping the building occupied. Expect hands-on insights as the project team guides you through strategies on how to leverage financing mechanisms for historic rehabilitation and solar tax credits, how to design and quality-assure enclosure and mechanical systems, and how to safely perform blower-door-guided air-sealing. You’ll see that, done correctly, air-sealing flat-roofed buildings is not that hard – a lesson relevant to Boston’s Triple Decker Initiative.
