Retrofit Potential: How Data-Driven Analysis Transforms Existing Buildings

 
 

In Mumbai’s dynamic urban market, legacy commercial buildings often fall short on energy efficiency and occupant comfort. At Conserve Consultants, we believe every existing building can become a high-performance asset

if you embrace evidence-based analysis and strategic intervention.

🔍 Challenge: Bridging the Performance Gap
A recent Mumbai retrofit project exemplifies common obstacles:
Excessive glare, reliance on blinds, and 39% higher lighting energy use
Poor daylight distribution, affecting productivity
Excessive heat gain, overworked HVAC, and high operational costs

✨Solution: Data-Driven Facade Analytics
Our approach combined three advanced methodologies:
Solar Insolation Mapping pinpointed heat-burdened zones and informed strategic shading
Sun Path & Shadow Study identified natural shading benefits and seasonal impact

Daylight & Glare Analysis determined optimal glazing specs and control strategies, enabling LEED & WELL compliance
We recommended high-performance glass (VLT 40–50%) for year-round comfort and efficiency.

Proven Results
30% glare reduction, optimized daylight, and improved staff wellbeing
36% energy cut for lighting + HVAC, through targeted façade upgrades
Daylight optimization: 61% of area meets standards, unlocking multiple LEED/WELL credits
Sustainable envelope design lower bills, higher comfort, better certification outcomes

The Takeaway: Existing buildings aren’t energy liabilities they’re opportunities. Retrofit intelligently with data-driven analytics, and you unlock sustainable value, cost savings, and superior occupant experience.

Let’s build a future where sustainability goes beyond new construction. Intelligent retrofits are the next frontier.
