BORN FROM PAST FAILURES
Developed by the British Standards Institution, PAS 2035underpins the UK’s net zero strategy by ensuring retrofit projects are designed and delivered in a consistent, high quality and accountable way.
It was introduced following the Each Home Counts Review, which identified wide spread issues with poor installations, limited accountability and a lack of consumer protection. of a div block.
THE WHOLE HOUSE WAY
PAS 2035 requires a whole house approach, assessing the dwelling’s construction, condition, ventilation strategy and occupancy before any measures are designed.
This prevents the problems often seen in past retrofit work, such as damp, mould and inadequate ventilation, and ensures measures work together as an integrated system.
PERFORMANCE WITH A PURPOSE
The framework emphasises indoor environmental quality, measure durability and long-term building performance, helping ensure retrofits avoid unintended consequences and remain effective over the building’s life.
PAS 2035 is mandatory for many government-funded schemes, including ECO and Warm Homes, making it central to the UK’s retrofit standards framework and a key driver in cutting carbon emissions and fuel poverty.
