Construction technology provider, Asite<\/a>\u00a0has launched a new research report on how the construction industry can mitigate carbon emissions through the smart retrofitting of built assets<\/h2>\n

The report, entitled \u2018Smart Retrofitting: The Key to Decarbonizing the Built Environment<\/a>,\u2019 responds to the construction industry\u2019s role in the Paris Agreement and focuses on the decarbonisation of existing buildings<\/a>, both residential and commercial.<\/p>\n

The report analyses and evaluates the technologies and approaches that can be utilised to mitigate carbon emissions and provides an insight into the role of digital twins<\/a> in the industry\u2019s journey to net-zero.<\/p>\n

Achieving a \u2018resilient and sustainable built environment\u2019<\/h3>\n

Nathan Doughty, Asite CEO, said:\u00a0\u201cThe relationship between our planet and the built environment must be treated as symbiotic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industries central to delivering and maintaining our built environment: architecture, engineering and construction, property management, facilities and asset management, and, technology, software, and manufacturing have a huge role to play in the advancement of net-zero carbon goals and are crucial to our future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis report examines the challenges before us all and dives into how digital transformation and digital engineering<\/a> will help us work together to achieve a resilient and sustainable built environment \u2013 for everything already built and everything we build next.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report identifies the issues within existing buildings that must be addressed to meet global goals and the barriers preventing the widespread retrofitting required to mitigate carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

The snapshot report also discusses retrofitting on a global scale, examining Government and organisation policies and initiatives from around the world \u2013 including the UK, Europe, UAE, North America, Australia, and India \u2013 to offer a global perspective on the issue.<\/p>\n

Digital twins: The future of retrofitting<\/h3>\n

In its conclusion, the report identifies how digital engineering can help the industry overcome the presented challenges and support the delivery of retrofits at scale to facilitate the construction industry in meeting its decarbonisation goals.<\/p>\n

Digital twins<\/a> are concluded to be the future of retrofitting. They offer the most comprehensive resource for retrofitting at scale as a composite of a variety of technologies. Digital twin technology will allow the industry to achieve current goals and also future-proof buildings beyond 2050 decarbonisation targets.<\/p>\n
