Retrofitting as an environmental hybrid approach (EHA) in conservation works on historical buildings in Malaysia

Historical buildings bring out the symbols of history, memories, social and culture of a place as well as representing the economic standard of the local people. It can be seen from the architecture style of the building, size and material used. That is why it is very important for us to preserve an...

Retrofitting is consider as an Environmental Hybrid Approach (EHA) in conservation works of historical buildings due to the facts that it use less new materials for new construction by reuse and re-enhancement back original material from historical building, reduce the production of construction waste thus minimizing negative impact to the environment. Retrofitting mechanism also undergo shorten construction period, hence it use less energy, less construction workers on-site and able to reduce the total cost construction compare to conventional construction.
