Retrofitting existing buildings in Australia has become the most urgent of priorities. Improving established buildings is an obvious area where efficiencies can be achieved and dollars saved.
Commercial buildings with a Net Lettable Area of 2000 m2 or more will now have to declare their rating because of the incoming NABERS regulation. This will have a significant effect on property value and leasing prices. Property owners will now have to decide what, when and how to retrofit their buildings to get the best asset value.
