On 30th June 2021, compliance with PAS 2035 and PAS 2030 became mandatory for all companies installing Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs), including domestic retrofit. The next revision PAS 2035:2023 and PAS 2030:2023 will become mandatory after March 30th 2025.
PAS 2035 is a specification for what is called the ‘whole-house’ approach to retrofit. This approach for installation of energy efficiency measures (EEMs) takes into account the requirement of the entire building, both from a technical standpoint and considering factors such as occupancy comfort.
PAS 2035 is concerned with assessing domestic dwellings for energy retrofit. This involves identifying areas where improvements can be made, then specifying and designing the relevant improvement measures. It is also concerned with the monitoring of domestic retrofit projects.
The ECO Surv platform provides Retrofit Assessors and Coordinators with an effective & structured workflow for completing PAS2035 compliant retrofit measures.
PAS 2035 Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I become a Retrofit Coordinator?
You can look into becoming a certified Retrofit Coordinator through The Retrofit Academy. Find more information here.
How do I become an accredited Retrofit Coordinator?
In order to use the ECO Surv platform, you must become an accredited Retrofit Coordinator. ECO Surv recognises a number of different accreditation bodies in order to do this, including.
Can I get accredited with an accreditation body not recognised by ECO Surv and use the ECO Surv platform?
If you are currently accredited with an accreditation body not recognised by ECO Surv and would like to use the ECO Surv platform, you must also get accredited with either Stroma Certification, Elmhurst Energy or Quidos.
Do I have to be PAS2035 accredited to use the ECO Surv platform?
Yes, you must be PAS2035 accredited to use the ECO Surv platform. However, if you get in touch with us we can point you in the right direction of how you can go about doing this. To work on jobs created after March 2025, you must be accredited to the latest standard: PAS 2035:2023. Our platform supports both revisions of PAS 2035 depending on which scheme you are working under.
Am I allowed to be accredited by more than one accreditation body?
Yes! This is a common misconception and one we here at ECO Surv are keen to demystify. You can be accredited with more than one accreditation body in order to find work as a Retrofit Coordinator. For example, if you are currently accredited with an accreditation body not recognised by ECO Surv and would like to lodge through us, you can also get accredited with an ECO Surv recognised accreditation body (including Stroma, Elmhurst Energy & Quidos).
Can I be removed by TrustMark for being accredited with more than one accreditation body?
No, you cannot be removed by TrustMark for being accredited with more than one accreditation body. For more information on this, visit the TrustMark site here.
