Overview

The PAS 2035 Retrofit Assessor course is designed for professionals who want to carry out comprehensive assessments of domestic properties as part of the PAS 2035 retrofit process. The course develops the knowledge and practical skills required to collect accurate information about a dwelling, its condition, energy performance, occupancy and ventilation before retrofit measures are designed or installed.

 

Throughout the programme, delegates will learn how to complete a detailed Retrofit Assessment using a whole-dwelling approach. This includes assessing the construction and condition of the property, identifying existing defects, recording building services, evaluating ventilation arrangements and gathering the information required to support appropriate retrofit decisions.

 

A key focus of the training is understanding how the existing building performs before improvements are recommended. Delegates will develop the skills required to identify issues such as damp, condensation, mould, inadequate ventilation and building defects that could affect the suitability or performance of proposed energy-efficiency measures.

 

The programme also covers occupancy assessment and energy assessment, helping delegates understand how the property and its occupants influence actual energy use and retrofit requirements. Accurate data collection, photographic evidence, floor plans and appropriate assessment documentation are explored to ensure information can be effectively communicated to the Retrofit Coordinator and other professionals involved in the project.

 

Successful completion provides an important pathway towards working as a Retrofit Assessor on domestic projects delivered in accordance with PAS 2035, subject to the applicable qualification, competency and scheme requirements.

 

Why Choose This Training?

 

✓ Develop the skills required to carry out PAS 2035 Retrofit Assessments

✓ Learn how to assess property condition, occupancy, energy performance and ventilation

✓ Understand how existing defects can affect proposed retrofit measures

✓ Develop a whole-dwelling approach to domestic energy efficiency

✓ Expand your opportunities within the growing UK retrofit sector

 

Career Benefits

 

Retrofit Assessors play an important role in the delivery of high-quality domestic energy-efficiency improvements. Their assessments provide the information required by Retrofit Coordinators and designers to make informed decisions about suitable improvement measures.

Developing Retrofit Assessor competency can create opportunities with retrofit contractors, social housing providers, local authorities, energy companies and specialist surveying organisations. For existing Domestic Energy Assessors, the qualification can provide a natural progression into more comprehensive property assessment and publicly funded retrofit projects.
