High Performance Renovation |

Accomplishing high performance green building goals in older cities such as Philadelphia is a challenge when a majority of limited capital dollars are stretched to meet the basic renovation and repair needs of aging infrastructure. Limited capital funds often result in piecemeal, and in many instances inadvertent, inefficient approaches to building renovation. MEO has been working with a number of departments to address this challenge and partnered with Steven Winter Associates to produce a City-focused High Performance Building Renovation Guide. The High Performance Renovation Guide focuses on typical City renovation projects while providing a framework for considering the renovation sequence, material selection, construction practices, energy intensity, operating implications and interrelatedness of building improvements that constitute high performance. The Guide can help improve the quality of City initiatives in the following areas: energy conservation, storm water management, recycling, waste reduction and indoor air quality. The Guide will support the City's work in newer fields such as climate protection, alternative energy sources, and high tech building systems and controls. |
