​

What Does a Retrofit Assessor Do?

A retrofit assessor plays a critical role in the retrofit process, conducting detailed evaluations that form the foundation for all energy efficiency improvements. The data gathered during the assessment phase is vital to creating a well-informed retrofit design and medium- to long-term plan for your property.

​

Here’s what our retrofit assessments include:

Occupancy Assessment

Our assessors begin by conducting an occupancy assessment, which involves speaking with the occupants to understand how the property is used. This helps us determine the heating requirements of the home and assess whether the current heating system and insulation are adequate for the way the property is being used. This personalised approach ensures that the retrofit measures we recommend will improve both energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

​

RdSAP Assessment

As part of the RdSAP (Reduced Data Standard Assessment Procedure), our assessors evaluate the energy efficiency of your property by analysing key elements such as:

• Building materials

• U-Values (measuring the insulation properties of walls, floors, and roofs)

• Room dimensions

• Heat loss potential

This detailed analysis provides an overview of your home's current energy performance. The resulting report is essential in identifying the most effective retrofit measures for your property.

​

Detailed Floor Plans

As part of the retrofit assessment, our team creates detailed floor plans by measuring the dimensions of every room in your property. These floor plans are crucial for designing an efficient energy retrofit, as they give us a clear understanding of the property's layout and spatial requirements.

​

Condition Report

Our condition report assesses the current state of the property, including the effectiveness of any existing energy efficiency measures. By evaluating the condition of the building and its current insulation, ventilation, and heating systems, we can identify where improvements are most needed and ensure that future upgrades integrate smoothly.

​

The Importance of Retrofit Assessments

The information gathered by our retrofit assessors is a cornerstone of the entire retrofit process. Once the assessment is complete, the data is reviewed by a retrofit coordinator, who uses it to create a comprehensive retrofit design and project plan. This ensures that all measures recommended are tailored to the specific needs of the property, delivering both short-term energy savings and long-term sustainability.
