REVIVE 2024: A Streamlined Retrofit Design Framework
Building retrofits need to scale now, but face many constraints that create pressure on project teams, making it difficult to design optimal retrofit solutions. In response, Phius has developed REVIVE 2024, a new standard for passive building retrofits with a supporting software tool. The standard is guided by thermal resilience as a leveling metric, and a whole building life cycle cost analysis (including the cost of embodied and operational carbon) to help choose an optimal retrofit package. The result is a cost-effective retrofit with minimal embodied carbon. A commissioning process guides quality control and project delivery.

Learning Objectives:
- Use whole building life cycle cost analysis to optimize a retrofit solution
- Assess the balance between embodied carbon and operational carbon in a retrofit scenario
- Apply the commissioning process to assess existing conditions and inform a building retrofit for resilience and energy performance
- Define building resilience and identify which resilience scope applies to a retrofit project
