PAS 2038 Training for Non-Domestic Retrofit.
The PAS 2038 Awareness course introduces the principles of non-domestic retrofit and energy efficiency improvement for commercial and public buildings. It explains the structure and intent of PAS 2038, helping learners understand how it aligns with PAS 2035 and the UK’s wider decarbonisation framework. This qualification is ideal for anyone involved in surveying, design, or project management within the non-domestic retrofit sector.

Course overview.
The Level 2 Award in Awareness of the Principles of Non-Domestic Retrofit and PAS 2038 (GQA) introduces learners to the key concepts, roles, and processes involved in improving the energy performance of commercial and mixed-use buildings. It provides a clear understanding of how the PAS 2038:2021 standard governs the retrofit of non-domestic buildings, complementing the domestic retrofit framework of PAS 2035.

This short awareness course helps professionals recognise how retrofit projects are structured, what the key responsibilities of the Retrofit Lead Professional (RLP) are, and how quality assurance, risk management, and performance outcomes are defined in practice.

The qualification is ideal for those expanding from domestic retrofit into commercial work, or anyone responsible for facilities, asset management, or sustainability compliance in non-domestic environments.
