Abstract: Building retrofit programme has received significant attention in recent years. This article aims to make a contribution towards low cost green retrofit for office application. The retrofit options suggested in this study includes ventilation system, efficient lighting system, potted plants for better indoor air quality and thermal insulation to walls and roof. The detailed analysis of proposed ventilation system is included in the present study. The comparison between proposed ventilation system with existing air conditioning system is also analyzed. The study demonstrates an efficient way towards achieving low cost green retrofit. The outcomes of this case study will increase the confidence among stakeholders in promoting energy conservation and sustainability.
