PAS 2035 outlines a systematic and holistic approach to building renovation and retrofit projects, with a strong focus on improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.
It includes guidelines for assessing the condition of a building, developing a renovation plan, and ensuring that the work is carried out effectively.
What is all too often overlooked is the time it takes from project identification to when work starts on site. This process can take up to six months and, with deadlines applied to Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund spending, time really is of the essence for those that have been awarded monies.
Our expert team is here to help you to deliver your scheme from start to finish. Here is a simplified outline of timings involved in meeting PAS 2035 requirements.
The pathway to PAS2035 process
The journey to PAS 2035 compliance is a meticulous process that emphasises the importance of thorough planning, quality control and ongoing learning. Following this pathway ensures that retrofit projects are not only energy-efficient but also meet the highest standards of quality and performance.
1. Engagement and Appointment
Engage with clients to identify eligible schemes and assess feasibility for funded energy efficiency measures. Obtain Retrofit advice and appoint a Retrofit Assessor, Retrofit Coordinator and Retrofit Designer.
(Two Months)
2. Assessment and Pathway
The Retrofit Coordinator carries out a full project risk assessment to define the PAS Pathway (A-C) and the Retrofit Assessor performs whole house retrofit assessments.
(One Month)
3. Evaluation and Planning
The project team evaluates the assessments and the Retrofit Coordinator compiles a medium-term plan for the energy efficiency measures.
(One Month)
4. Approval and Design
The client approves the measures to be installed before the Retrofit Designer draws up the property designs, which are then reviewed and finalised by the project team.
(Two Months)
5. Installation and Completion
Energy efficiency measures are installed according to the agreed plans and all works are completed and checked before final handover to the client.
(Timescales Vary)
6. Trustmark and Assessment
The Energy Performance Report, Condition Report, Reduced Data Standard Assessment Procedure (RDSAP) / full SAP and Occupancy Assessment are lodged for Trustmark and the Retrofit Coordinator carries out ongoing assessment to ensure that the intended energy and carbon reduction goals are achieved.
