What is Retrofit?

Due to the recent announcement of the climate emergency it has become apparent that millions of UK homes are required to reach an EPC rating of band C by 2030 and it is estimated that around 70% of all UK housing stock will require a degree of retrofit work in order to achieve this.

Retrofit requirements vary and are largely dependant on property age and specification. The retrofit works required to bring homes up to standard could range from the installation of energy efficient light bulbs and smart electricity meters to the installation of additional insulation and green technologies such as solar panels or energy efficient heating systems and this requirement is set to see a spike in the number of skilled workers that are required within this sector.

Wide range of retrofit qualification courses available

Train 4 growth offer a range of retrofit qualifications that support the UK’s need to become net-zero by 2050 and aim to support candidates looking to enter or up-skill within this sector further to the government conducted ‘every home counts review’ and its subsequent introduction of PAS 2035. 

PAS 2035 sets out a standard for retrofitting domestic properties and allows retrofit coordinators to take a holistic approach when implementing sustainable retrofitting techniques. In addition to the type of work carried out, PAS 2035 also ensures that this work is of an acceptable standard. The work should therefore be assessed by an accredited retrofit assessor. Please feel free to call us to discuss your requirements and for further advice and our helpful team will assist.
