the greenest building is the one already built.
we emphasize cost savings, sustainability and extended lifespan.
renovation services are ideal for interior-only projects where facade optimization and other fundamental changes are not possible. for example: when you own or rent a property inside an existing building.
success story: current technologies
these are some of the strategies we implement on renovation projects:
daylight optimized spaces
we can reorganize spaces (both residential and commercial) to take advantage of daylight and optimize its use.
energy upgrades
besides equipment upgrades, spaces can be reorganized into different thermal/energy zones to minimize energy usage and improve comfort.
water efficiency
includes upgraded fixtures, water harvesting strategies, and non-potable water use studies.
why renovations?
retrofits are one of the most effective ways to reduce the environmental impact and operating costs of existing buildings. instead of starting from zero, we analyze the current performance of a building and identify targeted interventions that improve efficiency, comfort, and long-term value.
our approach begins with data: understanding how a building consumes energy, water, and other resources. from there, we propose tailored strategies that range from envelope upgrades and shading systems to lighting improvements, hvac optimization, and water-saving measures. each recommendation is based on science and adapted to the specific conditions of the project.
our retrofits are technical and strategic. they allow owners and developers to extend the life of their assets, respond to stricter regulations, and improve the user experience without the cost and impact of new construction. whether the goal is lower utility bills, higher certifications, or a healthier indoor environment, retrofits provide measurable results.
at entrópica, we focus on practical, scalable interventions. our work ensures that every retrofit adds value, aligning building performance with sustainability goals while respecting budgets and timelines.
