What is the process that is performed on existing buildings to identify and recognize system improvements that make the building more suitable for current use?

Answer options

• A. Energy modeling
• B. Retrocommissioning
• C. Life-cycle assessment
• D. Fundamental Commissioning (Cx)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Retrocommissioning, which involves evaluating existing building systems to enhance their performance. Options A, C, and D focus on different aspects; Energy modeling assesses energy usage, Life-cycle assessment evaluates environmental impacts over a building's life, and Fundamental Commissioning (Cx) ensures that systems are designed and built correctly but does not specifically target existing buildings for improvement.
