Thesis Abstract

Building envelope retrofitting involves the enhancement of existing building envelopes to improve energy efficiency, thermal performance, and durability. This project aims to explore the latest retrofitting technologies and strategies for building envelopes, including insulation upgrades, window replacements, air sealing, and moisture management solutions. The research will also investigate the cost-effectiveness of envelope retrofitting measures and their impact on building energy consumption and indoor environmental quality. By analyzing case studies and performance evaluations, this study seeks to provide insights into effective approaches for retrofitting building envelopes to meet modern sustainability and comfort standards.
