Introduces PAS 2035:2023, the whole-house retrofit approach, the six core project roles, and how the standard integrates with PAS 2030.
This course introduces the PAS 2035:2023 standard as the foundation for delivering high-quality, whole-house domestic retrofit projects. Through key modules, learners will explore the intent, structure, and cross-role application of the standard, gaining insight into how to apply its principles from assessment through to post-installation review. The content also clarifies the relationship between PAS 2035 and PAS 2030 to support integrated, compliant delivery.
Whole-house retrofit, PAS 2035:2023 updates, Roles in retrofit projects, Medium-Term Improvement Plans (MTIPs), Energy efficiency measures (EEMs), Moisture and ventilation management, PAS 2030 compliance, Retrofit funding schemes (e.g. ECO, SHDF), Retrofit project lifecycle, Stakeholder communication.
This lesson introduces PAS 2035 as a response to industry-wide concerns about retrofit quality, rooted in the Each Home Counts review. You'll gain a foundational understanding of what a Publicly Available Specification is, why PAS 2035 was created, and how it has evolved, particularly in the 2023 update. You'll learn how to apply PAS 2035’s whole-house approach, assess its impact through case studies, and understand how to navigate key elements like energy efficiency, moisture risks, and long-term occupant wellbeing.
Explore the six core roles involved in a PAS 2035-compliant retrofit project and how they collaborate through various project phases. You’ll develop an understanding of the responsibilities of coordinators, assessors, designers, evaluators, and installers, and how effective communication between them influences project outcomes. This lesson will help you evaluate real-world scenarios, avoid common pitfalls, and ensure accountability at each stage, from assessment to post-installation evaluation.
This lesson explains how PAS 2035 (focused on project planning and oversight) integrates seamlessly with PAS 2030 (focused on installation quality). You’ll learn how to manage retrofit projects by aligning assessment, design, and installation processes across both standards. Through practical examples and case studies, you'll be equipped to ensure compliance, reduce risk, improve installation outcomes, and unlock access to government funding streams by delivering holistic, high-quality retrofits.
