PAS 2030 Awareness Course – Overview/Introduction to PAS 2035 and the Whole-House Retrofit Approach

PAS 2030

This awareness course introduces the essential principles and requirements of PAS 2030, the Publicly Available Specification that sets out the standard for installers of energy efficiency measures in domestic retrofit.

Targeted at installers, contractors, compliance officers, and site managers, the course covers the scope, responsibilities, and compliance expectations under PAS 2030 — including its close alignment with PAS 2035, TrustMark, and schemes such as ECO4, GBIS, and SHDF.

Whether you're preparing for certification, managing retrofit teams, or supporting quality assurance, this course provides a solid grounding in what PAS 2030 demands in real-world installations.

PAS 2035

This course provides a clear and structured introduction to PAS 2035 and the principles of the whole-house retrofit approach, as part of the UK’s strategy for achieving net-zero targets.

Designed for professionals involved at any stage of the retrofit process — including assessment, design, coordination, and installation — the course explores risk-based pathways, project roles, and the integration of PAS 2035 with PAS 2030 and TrustMark requirements.

By the end of the session, learners will understand how to approach retrofit projects holistically, assess risk appropriately, and ensure quality and compliance across delivery stages
