PAS2035 is a specification developed by the British Standards Institution (BSI) that sets out the requirements for the planning, design, installation, commissioning and handover of energy efficiency retrofit projects in existing buildings. It is part of a broader framework aimed at improving the energy performance of buildings and reducing carbon emissions in the UK.
Retrofit assessments conducted in accordance with PAS2035 are comprehensive evaluations of existing buildings to identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements. These assessments consider various factors such as the building's construction, insulation, heating, ventilation and occupancy patterns to develop a tailored retrofit plan that addresses the specific needs and challenges of each property.
Key principles underpinning PAS2035 retrofit assessments include a holistic approach to building performance, consideration of occupant health and comfort and the use of qualified and competent professionals throughout the retrofit process. The goal is to deliver cost-effective and sustainable solutions that improve energy efficiency while minimising disruption to occupants and maximising the long-term benefits of the retrofit.
PAS2035 retrofit assessments play a crucial role in driving the uptake of energy efficiency measures in existing buildings, which account for a significant portion of the UK's carbon emissions. By identifying and prioritising energy efficiency improvements based on robust assessment criteria, PAS2035 helps property owners, landlords and tenants make informed decisions about retrofit projects and ensure that investments in energy efficiency deliver tangible benefits in terms of reduced energy bills, improved comfort and reduced environmental impact.
Our retrofit assessors are members of ecmk, one of the leading Energy Accreditation Schemes in the UK.
