What do Retrofit Coordinators do?
In order to comply with PAS 2035 every domestic retrofit project will need to be managed by a qualified Retrofit Coordinator. A Retrofit Coordinator is responsible for overseeing the assessment of dwellings as well as the subsequent specification, monitoring, and evaluation of energy efficiency measures, during the Retrofit process in accordance with PAS 2035.
A Retrofit Coordinator will manage a retrofit project from inception to completion, and will need to liaise with building owners, Retrofit Assessors, Retrofit Designers and Retrofit Installers in order to ensure effective end-to-end project management.
The activities that Retrofit Coordinators will need to complete as part of the PAS 2035 process include:
- The completion of a retrofit risk assessment for each dwelling or dwelling type within the retrofit project
- The development of a retrofit project plan
- The development of a medium term improvement plan for every dwelling, for implementation over a period of thirty years
- The documentation of the project progress, including any information that is supplied by building owners, and other retrofit stakeholders involved in the delivery of the project

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
PAS 2035 is the overarching British standard for Retrofitting dwellings for improved energy efficiency.
Put simply, it provides specification and guidance for the energy 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 considered to be ‘whole house’ or ‘whole building’ 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.
PAS 2035 introduces a number of professional roles which are required for whole house retrofit projects.
These include the Retrofit Assessor, Retrofit Coordinator, Retrofit Designer, Retrofit Installer and Retrofit Evaluator.
The Retrofit Coordinator plays a key role in the process as they will act as project manager, and will oversee the end-to-end delivery of retrofit projects.
These roles do not need to be fulfilled by separate individuals; and in some cases, one individual can fulfil all of the roles requires for PAS 2035 compliant retrofit projects.
The Retrofit Coordinator role is in significant demand due to industry drivers such as the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, and government funding for social housing providers.
A Retrofit Coordinator can expect to earn on average anywhere between £35,000 – £60,000, however there is evidence to support that they can earn beyond this range.
Whole House Retrofit is relatively new industry, however, with PAS 2035 being adopted by more and more domestic energy efficiency programmes, opportunities are increasing.
ECO
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) currently mandates compliance with PAS 2035. This means that a Retrofit Coordinator will be required for all retrofit projects funded by ECO.
ECO4 will aim to deliver energy efficiency improvements to approximately 450,000 homes.
ECO Installers will be keen to work with Retrofit Coordinators who can help them to deliver their energy efficiency measures in accordance with PAS 2035.
Social Housing
Social housing providers continue to receive government funding to improve the energy efficiency of their worst performing homes.
Competitions such as the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund are awarding millions to Local Authorities, and each one requires retrofit projects to be delivered in accordance with PAS 2035.
Retrofit Coordinators can tender for work from Local Authorities, or can link in with delivery partners to offer their services within these big government funded projects.
Elmhurst’s Retrofit Coordinator training has 30 Hours of self-paced, On Demand learning, followed by 3 days of instructor led training to ensure you fully understand the content and have the opportunity to ask questions. The instructor led section of this course can be completed remotely or in a classroom setting.
This will be followed by a portfolio of work to confirm your understanding of the content.
TrustMark is the quality mark established by the government and endorsed within the PAS 2035 retrofit framework. It is designed to ensure that professionals in the industry adhere to high standards of workmanship, technical ability, and customer protection.
Since they were established in 2005, Trustmark have been working to help drive up standards across the retrofit industry and improve the protection offered to homeowners when having retrofit works completed.
PAS 2035 is governed by TrustMark, which is the new quality mark for the sector. Those who wish to deliver retrofit assessments in accordance with PAS 2035 will need to be a member of a TrustMark-approved scheme.
Members of an approved scheme (such as Elmhurst’s) can lodge information to the TrustMark Data Warehouse, and will have the skills and knowledge to demonstrate best practice standards and trading practices within the retrofit supply chain.
