    So you gave your old building a retrofit with new technologies… more in line with today’s standards and have seen results more in line with today’s standards.

    So you understand this!

      So modern building standards, materials, technologies and completed products are better than old?

      I don’t see many people taking out the cavity insulation to make their homes more old style.

        Your argument only defeats theirs if their argument was “old buildings are perfect and will never benefit from renovation”

        But they didn’t say that, did they?

          Not in so many words but they did say “When these bad boys are maintained they can outperform new apartments”

          I didn’t argue against them being capable of improvement, I’m arguing against the idea that they can outperform newer type buildings.
