Retrofits report
The Retrofit report is a comprehensive dashboard designed to help users evaluate sustainability performance, model retrofit scenarios, and track decarbonization progress for buildings or portfolios.
It provides actionable insights into carbon emissions, energy consumption, capital expenses (CapEx), and projected savings, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions and mitigate risks associated with stranded assets.
This tool empowers stakeholders to plan efficient decarbonization strategies, safeguard assets from becoming stranded, and align with carbon reduction targets like CRREM or custom pathways.
Access Retrofits report
Click on the Reports icon from the left-hand menu.
Select Retrofit report.
Filter Retrofits report
Users can apply different filters to the Retrofit report to customize the scope of data and visualize the selected data.
Portfolio Filters
The portfolio filter allows users to customize the scope of the data by selecting:
Regions, countries, or buildings (based on Geography or Custom structure).
Building attributes such as:
Type
Ownership
Status
Gross Floor Area (GFA)
This ensures users can focus on specific areas of interest or requirements.
Filters and Controls
The Filters and Controls sections provide dynamic data customization options in the Retrofit report. Below is a detailed explanation of their functionalities:
Filters | Description |
|---|---|
Period | Specify the start and end year to define the timeframe for data analysis. |
Accuracy | Select data accuracy levels such as Metered, Extrapolated, or Estimated. |
Retrofit status | Focus on specific Retrofit statuses: Approved, Draft, In Progress, or Proposal. |
Dataset | Filter buildings by options such as All Buildings, All Buildings with Retrofits, or Buildings with Carbon savings. |
Reporting type | Toggle between absolute values or intensity-based reporting. |
Target pathway | Choose the desired target pathway for comparison. |
Retrofit scenario | Select different Retrofit scenarios for modeling. |
Emissions approach | Decide between location-based or market-based methodologies for emissions reporting. |
Data normalization | Apply normalization options to standardize the data presentation. |
Plausibility options | Enable plausibility checks for enhanced data reliability. |
Retrofit decarbonization KPIs
The Retrofit Decarbonization KPIs section provides key environmental and financial indicators to support users in evaluating the impact of their decarbonization plans. The displayed KPIs depend on the applied filters and include:
KPI | Description |
|---|---|
Retrofits (nr.) | The number of planned Retrofits. |
Buildings (nr.) | The number of buildings with planned Retrofits. |
Gross asset value (€) | The current total gross asset value of buildings with planned Retrofits. |
Gross floor area (m²) | The total gross floor area of buildings with planned Retrofits. |
Total energy savings | The total cumulative energy savings from the year of implementation until 2050. |
Total carbon emissions savings | The total cumulative carbon emissions savings from the year of implementation until 2050. |
Total embodied carbon | The total embodied carbon of the planned Retrofits. |
Carbon payback period (Years) | The number of years it takes for carbon emissions savings to outweigh embodied carbon. |
Total CapEx | The total planned investments for Retrofits. |
Average CapEx/year | The average yearly investment required for planned Retrofits. |
NPV of total CapEx | The present value of future investments (considering a 4% annual discount rate). |
CapEx/kgCO₂e savings | The average investment planned per kilogram of CO₂ saved. |
Visualizations and Insights
This section provides graphical comparisons and charts that help users analyze the impact of Retrofit scenarios and their alignment with carbon reduction targets.
1. Predicted performance, targets, and CapEx
This chart compares emissions or energy demand between the Decarbonization and Do Nothing scenarios. It helps users understand the financial and environmental impact of planned Retrofits by visualizing:
Annual emissions or energy demand.
Target pathway alignment.
Capital expenditure (CapEx) distribution over the selected period.
A time slider allows users to zoom in on specific years for a detailed view. The selector at the top left of the chart allows users to toggle between carbon emissions and energy metrics.
2. Operational and Embodied Carbon Emissions
This chart provides a holistic view of cumulative emissions, combining both operational and embodied carbon, across two scenarios:
Decarbonization Scenario: Reflects the projected emissions from planned Retrofits.
Do Nothing Scenario: Represents the emissions trajectory without any Retrofits.
Each bar also visualizes annual embodied carbon from planned Retrofits. The time slider enables detailed exploration for specific years.
Detailed Breakdown
The detailed breakdown section provides a table listing all planned Retrofits based on the selected filters. The table includes the following information:
Category | Details |
|---|---|
Building information | Building name, Asset value. |
Retrofit information | Retrofit name, Category, Reference ID, Status, Year, Vacancy requirement. |
Retrofit impact | Heating and Electricity reduction, CapEx, CapEx/tCO₂e savings, Embodied carbon, Carbon payback period. |
Retrofits with the following statuses: Draft, Proposal, Approved, and In progress are included in the reports while other statuses (e.g., Completed or Rejected) are excluded from reporting.
