Introduces PAS 2030:2023 and how it governs installation of energy efficiency measures, alongside MCS certification and TrustMark compliance requirements.
This course gives retrofit generalists a foundational understanding of PAS 2030 and its role in governing the installation of energy efficiency measures (EEMs). It explores the differences between PAS 2030 and PAS 2035, outlines key stages of installation, and highlights the importance of quality assurance, process management, and compliance with MCS and TrustMark standards.
PAS 2030:2023, Energy efficiency measures (EEMs), Retrofit installer responsibilities, Retrofit design validation, Pre-Installation Building Inspection (PIBI), Installation method statement, Competent operatives, Process management, TrustMark registration, MCS certification, Handover, SHDF (Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund), Subcontractor compliance
This lesson introduces PAS 2030:2023 as the key standard for ensuring quality installation of energy efficiency measures. You’ll learn the five stages of installation (mobilisation, inspection, installation, testing, and handover), how to verify retrofit design suitability, and how installers interact with roles like coordinators and subcontractors. The lesson clarifies compliance requirements and outlines how installers manage operatives, materials, documentation, and customer service responsibilities.
Explore how MCS standards govern the design and installation of small-scale renewable technologies like heat pumps and solar PV. You'll understand how MCS certification intersects with PAS 2030 in projects involving low-carbon technologies, and what standards (e.g. MCS 001, 023, and 025) mean for installer competence, product quality, and funding eligibility. The lesson also highlights MCS’s role in schemes like ECO, BUS, SEG, and SHDF.
This scenario-based lesson follows a project team through a social housing retrofit, applying PAS 2030 and PAS 2035 compliance principles in practice. You'll see how contractors handle real challenges such as material substitutions, installer availability, and client communication. The lesson reinforces how to document changes, conduct PIBIs, verify operatives, manage subcontractors, and assemble handover records, key steps in ensuring projects meet standards and secure funding.
