With New York state's ambitious decarbonization and deep energy retrofit (DER) goals, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) ecosystem is tasked with developing retrofit approaches for thousands of existing buildings in our cold-climate state. Industry and research teams are working to produce solutions that address key design criteria of substantially improved building energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality. At the same time, solutions must address criteria of replicability, scalability, and improved cost models. Recently completed retrofit projects and research have demonstrated important relationships between design decision-making, process and project delivery innovation, and other factors that influence retrofit outcomes. Current industry and research practices limit the ability of retrofit teams to effectively gather and apply key project information and insights and data to build upon lessons learned and improve project outcomes. With the urgent imperative of climate change and associated developments in policies and standards, we present the Deep Energy Retrofits Symposium as a knowledge-sharing event where members of the AEC industry and research community will present innovations, research findings, and discourse among professionals who are undertaking various aspects of the challenges of developing deep energy retrofit approaches for New York and the surrounding cold-climate region.
