Overview

The PAS 2030 Retrofit Installer course is designed for tradespeople and installation professionals involved in delivering energy-efficiency improvements to existing domestic properties. The training develops the knowledge and practical understanding required to install retrofit measures safely, effectively and in accordance with recognised retrofit standards and industry requirements.

 

Throughout the programme, delegates will develop an understanding of the principles behind high-quality retrofit installation and the important role installers play within the wider retrofit process. Training explores building fabric, energy efficiency, moisture management, ventilation, airtightness and the interaction between individual improvement measures.

 

A key focus of the course is ensuring retrofit measures are installed correctly and do not create unintended consequences elsewhere within the property. Delegates will learn about appropriate preparation, installation techniques, junction detailing, thermal bridging, airtightness and moisture risks, alongside the importance of following approved designs, specifications and manufacturer instructions.

 

The programme also introduces installers to the relationship between PAS 2030 and the wider PAS 2035 retrofit framework. Delegates will develop an understanding of working alongside Retrofit Assessors, Retrofit Coordinators and other professionals to ensure installations meet the required design, quality and performance standards.

 

Successful training can support installers and installation businesses looking to work on professionally managed domestic retrofit projects, including energy-efficiency programmes where compliance with PAS 2030 and PAS 2035 is required.

 

Why Choose This Training?

 

✓ Develop skills for delivering high-quality domestic retrofit installations

✓ Understand PAS 2030 requirements and your responsibilities within the retrofit process
