Sustainable building retrofitting. Illustrated with the M16 building.

This book charts a path for change, for the transformation of the city through its architecture. The author argues that it is possible to transform our cities by retrofitting existing buildings to harmonize with the climate, thereby reducing electricity, water, and gas consumption. The work carried out on the M16 building—which underwent a bioclimatic intervention and earned LEED Platinum certification—serves as a case study demonstrating that such a transformation is achievable.
