Across the UK, building owners are actively preparing their properties for a low-carbon future through a variety of retrofit projects aimed at enhancing building performance. Accelerating the retrofitting of existing commercial buildings is crucial to achieving the Net Zero 2050 goals. A report by property consultant JLL estimates that the UK needs to increase the pace of retrofits by 5% annually, requiring double the retrofitting levels seen in the past decade. This acceleration involves reducing the carbon footprint and energy consumption of a vast array of buildings. Additionally, it is essential to equip the construction workforce with the necessary skills to deliver buildings suited for a low-carbon future. Efficiency and sustainability are the cornerstones of these projects, as both private and public sector landlords strive to meet new regulatory standards and cater to the demands of increasingly environmentally conscious tenants. They are also adapting their properties to cope with changes in the UK climate, such as hotter summers and wetter winters. Our new guide: ‘HVAC Retrofit – Considerations for Commercial Buildings’ aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the principles of retrofitting, enabling you to plan improvements that align with budget, project timelines, and sustainability goals. It will also assist you in discussing retrofit options with your clients, contributing to the movement toward efficient and sustainable buildings. The guide also includes links to other Mitsubishi Electric publications that provide more detailed information on some of the complex issues it covers.

With 90% of properties across Europe at risk of seeing their value fall by an average of 30% as a result of incoming decarbonisation legislation, there is an urgent need to adapt buildings quickly. Juliette Medana, JLL argues that regulation is an opportunity to deliver much-needed change, placing pressure on investors but also on occupiers, to choose sustainable buildings and use them effectively to close the performance gap. In fact, occupiers are already ahead of the market, with JLL data suggesting that 30% of occupier demand for low-carbon buildings in 2025 will not be met. The industry rapidly needs to increase the rate of retrofitting buildings - currently sitting at 1% per year - to match this growing demand.

“Existing buildings use 38% of all energy in the U.S. Look around; everything’s mostly built already. While, of course, it’s vital to be addressing emissions in new construction, it’s equally important for us to understand how to retrofit our existing buildings for the highest possible efficiency and make that a standard practice.” Advancements in technology are now making it cheap and easy to retrofit. No longer do you need to overhaul an entire building with an expensive upgrade. There is scalable, cost-effective technology that can be implemented over time and with the savings you will see from Day 1. See some of the success stories in buildings as small as a convenience store. You can make a difference because size truly does not matter to us.

Buildings account for 37% of global CO2 emissions, and up to 90% of properties will become a financial risk if they fail to #decarbonise. Our latest blog in a series with MIPIM explains how stakeholders and tenants can tackle this challenge... #sustainability
