PAS 2035 Retrofit Roles

PAS 2035 provides an accurate definition of retrofit roles and the activities required prior to the installation of energy efficiency measures. Five distinct roles within the PAS 2035 framework effectively manage each part of the retrofit process. All of the roles within the PAS 2035 process need to be TrustMark approved in order to undertake retrofit work within PAS 2035. Elmhurst Energy provides relevant training routes and TrustMark approved schemes for two retrofit roles: The Retrofit Assessor and The Retrofit Coordinator.

Retrofit Assessor

Dwellings which require energy retrofit work must first be assessed by a TrustMark approved Retrofit Assessor. These assessors play an important role in the PAS 2035 process as they collect property data/information which Retrofit Coordinators use to develop a medium term improvement plan.

Retrofit Assessor Training

You must be an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) in order to undertake Retrofit Assessor training. DEAs already have extensive knowledge and experience with property assessment, which will allow them to easily transition to a Retrofit Assessor role.

Elmhurst has developed an approved Retrofit Assessor Training course which covers all the skills, techniques and best practice required for Retrofit Assessors to confidently undertake Retrofit Assessments within the PAS 2035 framework.

Assessment Strategy

The PAS 2035 framework requires that every domestic energy retrofit project must be overseen by a TrustMark approved Retrofit Coordinator. This role is critical to the success of the retrofit process, as they are responsible for managing all aspects of the project, from start to finish, and working closely with all stakeholders, including the homeowner. The Retrofit Coordinator plays a crucial role in ensuring the project is delivered to the highest standards of quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
