Course information

The ABBE Level 5 Diploma in Retrofit Co-ordination and Risk Assessment is an essential qualification for Domestic Retrofit Co-ordinators. 

Retrofit Co-ordinators are responsible for ensuring a project meets the energy efficiency standards as outlined in PAS 2035 and are involved at every stage – from specification through to overseeing installation and handover.

PAS 2035 covers the assessment, specification and monitoring of measures designed to prevent heat loss, including insulation and window upgrades, advocating a ‘fabric first’ approach before the installation of low carbon technologies, such as heat pumps. Compliance with PAS 2035 is a requirement of all retrofit projects benefitting from government funding, such as ECO4.

Successful candidates will be able to ensure retrofit projects meet the standards of PAS 2035 and also TrustMark, the quality mark for the Retrofit sector.

PAS 2035 stands for "Publicly Available Specification 2035." It's a standard for the energy retrofit of domestic buildings, ensuring a whole-house approach is taken for energy efficiency improvements.

TrustMark is a government-endorsed quality scheme that covers work a consumer chooses to have carried out in their home. Businesses registered with TrustMark are vetted for their technical competence, customer service and trading practices.

Fabric First principles refer to prioritising the thermal performance of the building's fabric – walls, floors, roofs, windows, and doors – to reduce energy demand. This approach emphasises insulation and airtightness before considering mechanical or electrical heating solutions, such as heat pumps.
