Event information

In response to the challenges of retrofit, 'PAS 2035' and 'PAS 2030' were developed (PAS means 'Publicly Available Specification') and they each specify robust processes for domestic retrofit.

PAS 2030 is the certification that confirms an installation organisation has eligible processes to claim funding, whereas PAS 2035 sets out the latest specifications to refer to as your retrofit quality and risk guidelines. Both PASs are sponsored by DESNZ and both require compliance with many of the other standards in the Framework.

This 2-hour session with Dr Sarah Price of Spruce Retrofit Consultancy, one of the lead authors, will cover the BSI Retrofit Standards Framework, summarise the recently revised requirements of PAS 2035 and PAS 2030, and set out why they are important frameworks in the domestic retrofit sector.
