What makes someone qualify as a DEA, NDEA, OCDEA, Retrofit Assessor, and Retrofit Coordinator? The Elmhurst team recently caught up with Jarrod Green from EQUANS to find out what motivated him, and explore what it's like working as a Retrofit Assessor.

The long awaited Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 2038 has been published for improving energy efficiency of non-domestic building. Many will already be aware of PAS 2035, the domestic retrofit specification which was published by British Standards Institution (BSI) back in 2019. The obvious next step was for BSI to consider commercial buildings and we have now received the first draft of PAS 2038, “Retrofitting non-domestic buildings for improved energy efficiency – Specification”. What is a PAS? A
