Abstract

Delivering building energy retrofit project will bring about economic gains, while enhancing social well-being and engendering sustainable development. However, building energy retrofit projects encompass additional considerations and requirements in terms of process, material, expertise, and technology. All these factors constitute complexities in the delivery of the project. In addressing this problem, the paper presents how stakeholders understand implementation challenges in the delivering of projects amongst South African service providers. The case-based study highlighted the challenges, and solution concerning the methodologies that are appropriate in ameliorating the situations.
