The retrofit process is supported by a new industry standard working method defined by PAS 2038 (2021): Retrofitting non-domestic buildings for improved energy efficiency.

The first steps are assembling your project team, assessing your building and setting initial performance targets.

We can support you to develop a delivery plan and help you to access appropriate funding.

Our unique Life Cycle delivery approach can ensure targets are met and outcomes are evaluated.

The financial and carbon reduction benefits of retrofit projects mean they can be financed on an invest to save basis.

Key risks linked to the “buildability” of your project can affect the strength of your business case.

During the assessment stage, we can help you to deliver:

• A baseline energy use profile of the building informed by metering and usage
• Professional building surveys with the evaluation of project delivery risks such as asbestos and structural integrity.

This information helps you to develop options for investment, and identify priorities for energy efficiency improvement.

You can access a turnkey design and build solution for retrofit delivery through the innovative life cycle call off approach, within our Construction frameworks.

This addresses the risk of a performance gap between design and delivery, by making your energy performance targets contractual.

Our life cycle approach can provide you with a partner for post-occupancy evaluation and monitoring for up to five years and this also helps you to spread the cost of improvements.
