what does retrofitting existing buildings mean/involve?
In: 0
Retrofitting means to update an existing building to current standards. Most of the time these are safety and structural improvements to comply with current building codes, and not just a general remodel.
What is done during a retrofit depends heavily on when the building was built and what the concerns are. An old concrete foundation may be torn up and then repoured with steel reinforcement, or fire sprinklers may be installed in a building that doesn’t have them.
