%X This study aims to assess the potential environmental and  economic benefits of retrofitting a residential archetype  building under different scenarios. The study uses life  cycle performance approaches to carry on a retrofitting  scenario for an attached villa archetype in new cities in  Egypt. After identifying three levels of energy retrofit  measures (ERMs), a multi-objective optimisation  framework was developed and carried out upon the case  study model to optimise the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and  the Life Cycle Carbon Footprint (LCCF). The results of  the study presented 4 different retrofitting scenarios with  various investment costs and significantly improved  operational costs and emissions.
