PAS 2035: 2019 Retrofit Assessor
Sterling Accreditation has been appoved by TrustMark to deliver a Retrofit Assessor Scheme; this will be overseen by the Government Endorsed Quality Scheme.
PAS2035 is the new specification which came into effect on June 30th 2019, and is the overarching document in the retrofit standards framework which specifies the requirement for a holistic approach to the end-to-end delivery of domestic retrofit work.
It gives better clarification regarding the qualifications and responsibilities of individual retrofit roles and respective activities required prior to the commencement of the physical installation, ensuring standards are maintained and providing the consumer with a choice of high-quality, safe and trustworthy options when enhancing the energy efficiency of their homes.
PAS2035, which spun out of the Each Home Counts Review, has been developed as the route that all organisations must follow if they are to operate as a TrustMark approved scheme and carry out domestic retrofit work.
This new framework provides a ‘whole building’ approach to the retrofit process by looking at the home, environment, occupancy and the householders' improvement objectives when determining suitable measures to install, rather than the retrofit work being considered in isolation which could potentially affect the overall building performance.
PAS 2035: 2019 Retrofit Coordinator
Sterling Accreditation have applied to be appoved by TrustMark to deliver a Retrofit Coordinator Scheme; this will be overseen by the Government Endorsed Quality Scheme.
A Retrofit Coordinator is an individual who project manages a retrofit project on a dwelling and in doing so oversees its assessment, the identification and specification and evaluation of energy measures for installation and their subsequent monitoring and evaluation. For any PAS 2035 project, whether or not that results in the installation of a measure, the Retrofit Coordinator will be personally responsible for the Risk Assessment and creation of a Medium-Term Improvement Plan.
Sterling Accreditation, working closely with TrustMark, will deliver the new TrustMark Retrofit Coordinator scheme in accordance with the new industry recognised standard. Becoming a Retrofit Coordinator through Sterling Accreditation will mean that you are fully qualified to work on retrofit projects and use the TrustMark quality mark of approval.
