Retrofit and EPC Assessors
Target Carbon Management Ltd are Trustmark registered Retrofit Assessors and Quidos qualified EPC assessors.
PAS 2035 is the new over-arching document in the retrofit standards framework. PAS 2035 essentially provides a specification for the energy retrofit of domestic buildings, and details best practice guidance for domestic retrofit projects.
Retrofit Assessors are trained to undertake a retrofit assessment for dwellings in accordance with PAS 2035. The activities completed within the retrofit assessment include the production of an RdSAP assessment, a detailed floor plan, a condition report and an occupancy assessment.
The data collected from these sources is used by the Retrofit Coordinator to formulate a Medium-Term Improvement Plan. Accredited DEAs are well placed to become qualified Retrofit Assessors due to their extensive knowledge and experience with RdSAP methodology and assessment of existing dwellings
TCM combine Architectural Services with Energy Efficiency Design.
