Understanding PAS 2035<\/span><\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking practical steps towards combating climate change (or simply improving your own energy system) can be tough. Entire retrofit projects have collapsed due to a single slip in the installation or evaluation process, and it can be hard to know how significant the changes will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home dwellings account for almost 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions, and getting that number down to zero is going to be a daunting task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To guide the rework projects being done across the country, the UK government has guidelines for retrofitting dwellings and employing energy efficiency measures in domestic buildings.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PAS 2035 retrofit project document serves as the core of the retrofit standards framework. Introduced alongside some recommendations from the Each Home Counts review, it delves into the process of providing high-quality energy retrofit measures in existing buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This document covers not only these retrofit measures but also any related energy efficiency measures. This serves as a guideline for contractors to follow during the installation and monitoring of retrofit projects across the UK.

What is PAS 2035?<\/u><\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAS 2035 is a key document for all energy efficiency and energy retrofit tasks, providing the clear guidelines needed to handle each retrofit project correctly. This includes a variety of information, from building assessment requirements to long-term monitoring methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The core reason behind the existence of PAS 2035 is to prevent a piecemeal retrofit process. A retrofit installer can’t simply adjust lighting units or monitor energy use before passing it on to another company – they need to aim to make a significant change. This is meant to speed up the slow progress towards a lower carbon emissions goal.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does PAS 2035 do?<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of its actual contents, PAS 2035 is a specification for whole-dwelling assessment and retrofitting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It requires contractors and other related parties to take into account the requirements of the entire building, meaning that retrofit designs need to be more than just a single small change in part of the home.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAS 2035 heavily revolves around assessing domestic homes for energy retrofit design options. This involves identifying areas of improvement and specifying the improvement measures, from monitoring and evaluation to the way that contractors demonstrate compliance.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is PAS 2030?<\/u><\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAS 2030 is the document that specifies energy efficiency installation measures. PAS 2035 and PAS 2030 are often used alongside one another since both relate to emissions and energy efficiency in slightly different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both domestic retrofit projects and business energy efficiency measures benefit from steps like the Energy Company Obligation scheme, but internal changes also have to be made. A retrofit advisor usually needs to do a risk assessment under both PAS 2035 and PAS 2030.

Simaxx for an Energy Retrofit<\/u><\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A complete energy refit, or any other long-term change, requires careful data management to get right. Both PAS 2030 and PAS 2035 require you to monitor and compare information cleanly, and that is something that Simaxx<\/a> can do extremely well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simaxx can allow you to pool information in one place, format it into all kinds of reports, and handle raw data with a lot more clarity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter the specifics behind the retrofit, this can make a massive difference, especially to residential homes or smaller commercial buildings that may not have as much direct support.
