Abstract

A “major building renovation” is as any renovation with the cost that exceeds 25% of the replacement value of the building, or under U.S. Department of Defense policy, where renovation cost exceeds 50% of estimated replacement cost. It is optimal to time a Deep Energy Retrofit to coincide with a major renovation since during a renovation, because the building is typically evacuated and gutted and prepared for renewal, and because a significant sum of funding needed to cover the cost of the energy-related scope of the renovation designed to meet minimum energy code, is already budgeted anyway.
