High-performance buildings are key to achieving the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Most of today's buildings will still be in use in 2050, and their energy performance must be managed. As shown in this timely book, the capability to meet the challenge exists today. --Scott Foster, Director, Sustainable Energy, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe As an owner of older, public buildings, we look for cost-effective ways to extend and improve the performance of our existing structures. The Power of Existing Buildings provides a data-driven approach for building owners planning to renovate old buildings into sustainable structures with lower energy consumption and improved indoor air quality. --Greg Stewart, Administrator, Ohio County Commission, West Virginia Our future depends on low-energy buildings with great indoor air quality. The Power of Existing Buildings is the evidence-based resource showing exactly how to do it. --Anjanette Green, Director, Standards Development, RESET Practice meets theory. The Power of Existing Buildings describes practical, tested ways for building owners to improve the energy performance of existing buildings profitably. Illustrated with compelling, real-world examples, this book shows the opportunity inherent in existing buildings, and how we can build a better environment through thoughtful renovation. --Victor Olgyay, Principal, Rocky Mountain Institute
