Abstract

Conservation is essential for understanding the country's background. Besides, 
Sustainable development is a way to improve sustainability through heritage 
buildings. The diversity of sustainability perspectives presents a challenge to 
the design of these types of buildings. Facilities management provides a 
mechanism for ongoing and lasting development, allowing efficient facilities 
to be managed and maintained. Concerning other sustainability challenges, the
operating phase of a building is essential not only for energy but also for other
sustainability challenges. The main problem of this paper is that Existing 
buildings have higher energy consumption and that risk assessment deliberated
that there are critical risk factors. Most of the current practices concerning
sustainable retrofitting and facility management of heritage buildings, 
particularly in Egypt, are lead through neither strategic management plans nor
policies. Consequently, the main objective of this research is to examine the 
latest technology that facilitates risk management and evaluate the risks 
associated with sustainable retrofitting facility managers in heritage buildings.
The methods of this paper followed qualitative analysisthrough the literature 
review was implemented to document the approaches to managing risks of 
heritage building retrofit through literature. This paper will raise awareness of 
heritage's sustainable retrofit and manage risks with the latest information
visualization trends. Finally, it will influence decision-makers and facility
managers in future heritage retrofit projects.
