Retrofit scenarios

The Retrofit Scenarios tool helps you explore different paths to decarbonize your buildings, so you can find the right balance between environmental impact and financial goals. You can create, edit, duplicate, and delete retrofit scenarios directly in the BuildingMinds platform, giving you flexibility to test and compare strategies.

You’ll see a list of all scenarios based on your portfolio filter. Each scenario includes key details like:

Status and name
Total CapEx and embodied carbon
Number of retrofits and buildings included
Total gross internal area and market value

Add a New Scenario

The default scenario is Decarbonization - you can’t edit or delete it, but you can create additional scenarios to explore alternatives.

To add a scenario:

Click Add Scenario.
Enter the mandatory fields: Name and Status.
Click Save.

Notes

You need to fill in all mandatory fields before you can save the scenario.
You can add retrofits to any scenario, active or inactive. However, only active scenarios count toward sustainability calculations.
You can have up to 3 active scenarios at the same time.

Edit a Scenario

To make changes:

Hover over the scenario and click Edit.
Update the fields and click Save.

Note

You can’t set a scenario to Active if you already have 3 active scenarios.

Duplicate a Scenario

You can duplicate an existing scenario along with all its retrofits for easy iteration. The duplicated scenario and its retrofits are completely separate and no longer linked to the original.

To duplicate a scenario:

Hover over the scenario and click Duplicate.
Update the details and click Save.

Notes

Each scenario needs a unique name.
Duplicates start as Inactive by default.

Delete a Scenario

To delete a scenario:

Confirm by clicking Delete in the pop-up.

Note

Deleting a scenario also deletes all its retrofits.
