Committed carbon—upgrading existing buildings
10.1002/tal.478.abs
Many new buildings are designed to incorporate low carbon emission features which enhance a building's environmental performance. However, new buildings only represent a small percentage of the entire building stock. Upgrading existing buildings to meet lower carbon emission performance targets presents a huge opportunity for building owners, designers and contractors. This article outlines the methodology and strategies for reducing carbon emissions in existing buildings, and provides an example of the strategies and design processes undertaken for refurbishing a 30‐storey building in Sydney's CBD. A scope of works was developed for the example building in 2006 with the aim of reducing the base building system's annual greenhouse gas emissions from 141 to 87 kg CO2/m2.
