retrofit
意味: To add new technology, components, or features to an existing system, building, or vehicle that were not available when it was originally built.
Retrofitting is increasingly important in the context of energy efficiency and sustainability — older buildings are retrofitted with insulation, double glazing, and heat pumps to reduce carbon emissions. Vehicles may be retrofitted with new engines, safety features, or emissions controls. The term is used as both a verb ('to retrofit a building') and a noun ('a major retrofit'). It implies upgrading something existing rather than building new, which is often more economical and environmentally sound.
