What is Retrofitting? Retrofitting a building is the process of making technical changes to optimize indoor environments while assessing the energy systems of a building to use energy effectively. The aim of retrofitting is not only to improve the quality of life for occupants but also to reduce the building's carbon emissions, which is essential for sustainable development. In the Middle East, retrofit projects usually target key systems such as cooling, ventilation, lighting, building envelope, control systems, and water fittings. Retrofitting these systems can improve amenities for occupants and improve the performance of the building. KEO, a leading design and engineering firm, offers a range of services to help optimize existing buildings. KEO’s design services can optimize any internal space, while the energy modeling and cost consultancy teams can identify the best-fit scenarios for each real estate portfolio. Moreover, KEO's design review services and commissioning experts can assess the re-commissioning of any building to optimize its performance. Additionally, KEO has undertaken R&D projects with key stakeholders to identify the best approaches for deep-retrofitting carbon reduction in existing commercial buildings. KEO's commitment to sustainable development is evident in its projects, which aim to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings while improving the quality of life for occupants. #COP28 #GoKEO
