As climate change intensifies, it poses severe challenges to existing built environments. This thesis, explores adaptable strategies that enhance the resilience of existing structures against climate variability, with a focus on historical buildings. The research is grounded in the context of Tucson, Arizona-a region experiencing significant climate impacts such as extreme heat and drought. By utilizing the Smith House on the University of Arizona campus as a case study, the study evaluates various adaptable interventions designed to improve thermal comfort and reduce energy dependency on mechanical systems. Through simulations and digital modeling, the thesis identifies key strategies, such as improved insulation, incorporation of smart materials, and retrofitting with energy-efficient systems, that can significantly reduce a building's Energy Use Intensity (EUI) while enhancing its adaptability to changing climate conditions. The findings underscore the importance of integrating adaptive architectural practices into the maintenance lifecycle of buildings to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience. This study contributes to the field by offering practical insights into the adaptive retrofitting of historic buildings, highlighting a balanced approach to preserving architectural heritage while enhancing energy efficiency and occupant comfort in response to the evolving climate landscape.
