Retrofit Assessor

What is a Retrofit Assessor

The Retrofit Assessor will evaluate the property and complete a number of documents with supporting photographic evidence:

• Ventilation Assessment – the internal air quality of the home is important without the correct ventilation there can be a build-up of condensation and mould in the property leading to serious health issues of the occupant.
• Condition Report – the overall condition of the property will be assessed, and the Retrofit Coordinator will make recommendations on improvements to any defects identified.
• Energy Assessment – this is more in-depth than the data used for an EPC to ensure that energy assessment is accurate.
• RdSAP Site Notes – the site notes identify the built form of the home, number of bedrooms, age of the property and any energy efficiency measures previously installed helping the Retrofit Coordinator to produce accurate reports and recommendations.
• Occupancy assessment – occupancy has an effect on the overall energy consumption of the home, heating patterns will vary.

In reality, the Retrofit Assessor is the Retrofit Coordinators’ eyes and ears and is arguably the most important role within the domestic retrofit process, if the assessment is wrong then the recommendations. Retrofit design and the installation may be wrong leading to performance gaps and unintended consequences.
