PAS 2035 is the retrofit standard introduced in 2019 and is central to the implementation of domestic retrofit in the UK.
The Retrofit coordinator oversees and manages the design of all retrofit projects.
The Retrofit Coordinator ensures every project is PAS 2035 compliant.
The Retrofit Assessor will gather information about the building which will be the subject of retrofit work. Domestic retrofit assessments are extensive and include factors such as the building’s construction, structure, and architectural features. The assessment will also consider the building’s current condition, including any structural defects, and issues such as leaks, condensation and mould build-up. Current installations such as heating and hot water, lighting, and ventilation will be documented. Any protected status, conservation restraints, or planning permission requirements will be investigated before work can begin.
The Retrofit Assessor will also consider information regarding the number of building occupants and special considerations including the presence of vulnerable people, or people with disabilities.
The assessor will require access to all rooms, including the loft, cellar/basement and attached garages.
The assessment can take up to 2.5 hours to complete.
The assessor will consider all potential energy-saving measures which could be installed at your property, they will also evaluate existing ventilation, they will check windows, doors and mechanical ventilation systems.
A whole house retrofit is a comprehensive plan for home improvements. It’s devised with the aim of ensuring that a property operates in as energy-efficient a manner as possible, with all aspects of the building complementing each other.
PAS 2035 requires that all domestic retrofit projects incorporate a Retrofit Coordinator whose job is to oversee the management and design of all retrofit measures.
Your retrofit advisor is your point of contact to discuss the results of your survey and the retrofit plan designed for your property. The advisor can talk through the plan and also give advice on energy-saving tips.
No, the surveyor will carry out the assessment, but the retrofit coordinator will analyse the information and create the plan – we will talk that through with you after the survey.
It depends on what measures are recommended. After your survey a retrofit advisor will call you and discuss the plan for your property.
We look at how much energy it takes to keep your home at an ambient temperature – we will check how well insulated your house is and how efficient the heating system is – if we can upgrade the insulation or heating we will do this for free – this will lower your energy bills and reduce the amount of fossil fuel it takes to heat your home.
