PAS 2035 is the brand new overarching document within the constantly changing retrofit standards framework which was introduced as a result of the recommendations of the Each Home Counts review. To sum up, PAS 2035 provides a new specification for the energy retrofit of domestic buildings, and details the very best practice guidance for domestic retrofit projects. It has been evident for sometime that huge improvements are required within the energy efficiency of the UK’s entire building stock if the country is set to meet its global carbon commitments.
The Electricity and Gas (Energy Company Obligation) Order 2019 came into effect officially on 1st January 2020. The new PAS 2035 embraces quality retrofit work which attempts to eliminate problems associated with defects, shallow retrofit, accountability, poor design and performance gap. This creates an entirely new building approach to the retrofit process when installers determine which are the most suitable measure to install. As a result, this will eliminate the issue of retrofit work being considered in isolation which can then damage overall building performance.
TrustMark has been established as the new quality control mark within the retrofit standards framework. TrustMark is supported by an Industry Code of Conduct, a Consumer Charter and a framework of technical standards for retrofit. Users of the TrustMark Government endorsed quality control scheme are required to comply with PAS 2035 when undertaking any domestic retrofit work.
