 Course Description

ABBE Level 3 Certificate in Domestic Energy Assessment

Course overview
PAS 2035 covers how to assess dwellings for retrofit, identify improvement options, design and specify energy efficiency measures. Such retrofits are absolutely essential to help reduce the carbon emissions from homes and to help tackle climate change. Originating from the work of the Each Home Counts review, PAS aims to establish a robust framework of standards on how to conduct effective, whole house energy retrofits of existing buildings.

The ABBE Level 3 Award in Introduction to Domestic Retrofit qualification has been developed to give an overview of aspects of PAS2035 giving the learner the knowledge and understanding of the retrofit process and who is involved.

This qualification is part of the NEIoT: Retrofit Assessor bootcamp.

This programme is IoT (Institute of Technology) recognised, guaranteeing you outstanding technical training.

What will I study
Get ready to delve into the principles and standards of retrofit, understand building structures, and master occupancy assessments. Through a blend of theoretical learning and practical application, you’ll develop a comprehensive understanding of the PAS 2035 Retrofit Assessor role, empowering you to produce detailed condition reports and drive energy efficiency in existing buildings.
