This scenario-based course tests your ability to manage compliance and technical risk during the critical pre-construction phase of a retrofit project.
This scenario-based course tests your ability to manage compliance and technical risk during the critical pre-construction phase of a retrofit project. Focusing on a tight deadline, you must conduct due diligence on surveyor assessments, navigate statutory constraints within conservation areas, and correctly handle data lodgement for mixed-funding streams. It emphasises upholding the integrity of the PAS 2035 process despite client pressure to rush.

Focuses on the initial review of surveyor reports. You will learn to spot critical site constraints - such as non-compliant DPC clearances caused by tenant alterations - that could cause retrofit failure. The outcome is the ability to identify remedial works that must be specified in the design phase to prevent moisture issues post-installation.
Here, you encounter a project within a Conservation Area. You will learn why you cannot assume 'Permitted Development' rights exist and the importance of checking for Article 4 Directions. This section demonstrates how to facilitate checks with local authorities to ensure legal compliance without causing unnecessary project delays.
Tackles the complex issue of adding unfunded measures (like a council-funded heat pump) to a grant-funded project. You will learn the specific protocols for data lodgement to ensure the grant claim remains valid while still providing an accurate EPC for the tenant. It highlights the risks of contaminating national data sets or failing funding audits.
