Retrofit architecture

When we talk about retrofit in architecture, what we mean is the process of modifying or adding new features to existing buildings, to improve energy efficiency.

This could be adding insulation to the loft, floors or walls to create a more stable temperature in your house, or installing green technologies – like an air source heat pump or mechanical ventilation with heat recovery unity (MVHR).

Whether you are thinking of small modifications as part of a renovation, or a deep retrofit, here are some retrofit architecture stories to help you understand more and to inspire you.
