About PAS 2035:

PAS 2035:2019 is the overarching British standard for Retrofitting dwellings for improved energy efficiency.

Put simply, it provides specification and guidance for the retrofit of domestic buildings, and details best practice guidance for domestic retrofit projects.

What makes PAS 2035 different, is the approach to the retrofit process, which is a ‘whole house’ retrofit. This approach considers the home, environment, occupancy, and the householders’ improvement objectives when determining the most suitable measures to install. It also eliminates the issue of retrofit work being considered in isolation, which can unintentionally damage the overall building performance.
