Retrofit US
This document contains preliminary numbers for economic data for US retrofitting for residential, commercial and public buildings.
Bold font rows are the final datapoints.
Retrofitting refers to the process of upgrading an existing building to improve its energy efficiency. This includes, but not limited to, floor, wall, ceiling insulation upgrades. The numbers presented is the cost per m$^2$ of the floorspace to reach the presented energy savings potential.
