Retrofit Assessor

A Retrofit Assessor plays a crucial role in the UK's drive towards more energy-efficient homes and buildings. Your primary responsibility would be to conduct comprehensive assessments of existing properties to identify their current energy performance and potential for improvement. This involves evaluating various aspects of a building, such as its insulation, heating systems, ventilation, and overall airtightness, to determine the most effective and appropriate retrofit measures. You'd be working to the PAS 2035 standard, which is the British standard for retrofitting dwellings for improved energy efficiency. This role demands a keen eye for detail, strong analytical skills, and a thorough understanding of building physics and energy conservation principles. Beyond the initial assessment, you would be responsible for producing a detailed Retrofit Assessment Report. This report outlines the current condition of the property, identifies any defects or risks, and provides recommendations for specific energy efficiency improvements. It's a key document that informs the Retrofit Coordinator and installers about the necessary works to be carried out. The goal is to ensure that retrofit projects are well-planned, safe, and deliver genuine energy savings and improved comfort for occupants, contributing directly to the UK's carbon reduction targets. This career is ideal if you're passionate about sustainability and practical solutions to climate change.
