Name of the article[edit]

After I created the article, I realized that "home energy retrofit" is actually more common than "green retrofit". I thought about renaming the article, but it would be a bit more work, because "home energy retrofit" probably doesn't contain some of the Simple steps. If other editors feel that the article should rather focus on home energy retrofits then I won't mind those entries that are unrelated to home energy to be removed.

Here's a table with the google counts:

term	google count	comment
home energy retrofit	459,000
green retrofit	93,800
home retrofit	74,500
energy retrofit	61,100
home performance retrofit	7,690

Seems to me "Green retrofit" also embraces non-residential buildings, so is a more inclusive term? Adabhael ^Talk 05:04, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting "Small Steps" section[edit]

I'm deleting the "Small Steps" section. Wikipedia isn't a how-to guide, and IMHO the information there is better found somewhere else. Toadmerle (talk) 05:25, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge discussion[edit]

I propose to merge Sustainable_refurbishment into this page, which I believe is a broader, more accessible term. There is some years-old discussion on that page, but no merger tag until now. Adabhael ^Talk 03:03, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would propose to do it the other way around as refurbishment imho also includes "transformation" which is also a valid way to work with existing buildings. But I agree to merge the two in some way. 195.137.178.130 (talk) 12:02, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge to Sustainable_refurbishment is has a more obvious natural-language meaning. Green retrofit might well be local or trade jargon, but this likely to be unstable; I'd rather see titles with natural language meaning. Klbrain (talk) 08:36, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 12:22, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
