What do Retrofit Coordinators do?
A Retrofit Coordinator is the person who is responsible for overseeing the assessment of the dwelling making recommendations, ensuring specifications are followed, monitoring, and evaluating of energy efficiency measures once the installation is complete, in accordance with PAS 2035.
In order to comply with PAS 2035 every domestic retrofit project will need to be managed by an approved Retrofit Coordinator, who is registered on the Trustmark website.
Retrofit Coordinators
A Retrofit Coordinator will manage a retrofit project from inception to completion and will need to liaise with owners and householders, Retrofit Assessors, Retrofit Designers and Retrofit Installers in order to ensure the customer journey is as smooth as possible.
The activities that Retrofit Coordinators will need to undertake as part of the PAS 2035 process include:
- The completion of a PAS2035 Annex B Normative Risk Path Assessment for each home determines the level of risk proposed in the Improvement Options Evaluation.
- Development of a retrofit project plan based on the data collected by the Retrofit Assessor – The Improvement Options Evaluation.
- Preinstall SAP modelling to ensure minimum ECO4 SAP Banding is achieved.
- The development of a medium-term improvement plan for every dwelling, for implementation over a period of 20-30 years
- Ensuring that Part L1 of Building Regs are adhered to and the protected status of the property is identified e.g. listed or conservation area.
- Formulate the Ventilation Strategy that is required for each property following the rule of ‘Insulate Tight – Ventilate Right’ in addition to adhering to Part F Building Regs in England and SCOTLAND
- The document the progress of the project, including any information that is supplied by the Retrofit Installer building owners, and householders involved in the delivery of the project.

Alex has introduced Dodd Group to new clients and we look forward to working with retrofit coordinators for many years to come.
PAS 2035:2019
PAS 2035:2019 is the overarching British Framework for Retrofitting dwellings for improved energy efficiency.
It provides specification, guidance and process for the installation of energy efficiency measures to existing domestic buildings, and details best practice guidance for Assessors, Coordinators Designers and Installers.
What makes PAS 2035 different, is the approach to the retrofit process which is considered to be fabric first, whole house retrofit. This process considers the home energy performance, environment, occupancy, property condition and the householders’ improvement objectives when determining the most suitable energy efficiency measures to install. It also prohibits the issue of
