Proposed Session Description
The new Phius REVIVE Pilot program for retrofit is being developed around a vision for upgrading existing buildings so that, ideally, they do not cause greenhouse gas emissions either directly or indirectly, and also so that they can function using locally-generated renewable energy; the retrofit process itself also does not cause GHG emissions, directly or indirectly, and deficiencies are fixed, i.e. risks to indoor air quality. The scope includes land use, decarbonization, cost/equity, resilience, health, quality assurance, and phase planning. Resilience will be a key determinant of the requirements around passive measures, with a goal of covering critical loads using on-site or local-microgrid renewable energy generation and storage.
Diversity and Inclusiveness
Old buildings have to be part of the retrofit solution.
Learning Objectives
Understand the scope of the program
Understand the differences between new construction certification and the REVIVE Pilot.
Understand the ADORB full-cost accounting metric
Know the key requirements and the getting-started requirements
