Webinar – Energy Modelling and Data Analytics for Net-Zero Retrofit

by

Energy Modelling and Data Analytics for Net-Zero Retrofit

With 80% of the 2050 building stock already standing, global retrofit rates need to accelerate rapidly to ensure that net-zero carbon targets remain within reach. However, given the complex nature of buildings, how can building owners, operators and AEC practitioners make informed decisions to ensure that strategies deliver in terms of energy, carbon, comfort and cost?

Join our experts for this consulting-led session, exploring how cutting-edge energy modelling, dynamic design tools, and data analytics can streamline decision-making and reduce risk for retrofit projects.

Using real-world case studies, we’ll showcase the latest digital techniques to enhance the performance of existing buildings, guiding you through our step-by-step process – from initial optimisation to dynamic modelling of light and deep retrofit solutions, right through to ongoing post-retrofit monitoring and verification.

This session will equip attendees with actionable insights and innovative approaches to deliver high-performance retrofits that stand the test of time. Plus, our live Q&A will give you the chance to ask your most pressing retrofit questions directly to the experts.

This session will also mark the launch of a brand-new report from IES, exploring the role of dynamic simulation and digital tools in supporting effective retrofit strategies. Attendees will be among the first to access this latest insight, so sign up now to secure your place!

Speakers:

  • Ruth Kerrigan, Chief Operating Officer, IES (Chair)
  • Jason McGuire, Senior Project Consultant – Energy Services, IES
  • Michael Pollock, Senior Consultancy Manager – HVAC Modelling, IES
  • Valeria Ferrando, Associate Director – Digital Twin Consultancy, IES
