Profession
What a Retrofit Assessor does
A Retrofit Assessor is the site-based professional who records the evidence a Retrofit Coordinator needs before retrofit measures are designed. The assessor looks at the dwelling as a whole, not just one measure, and records the building fabric, services, occupancy, ventilation, condition, constraints, and supporting photographs.
The role matters because retrofit decisions can create unintended consequences when condition, moisture, ventilation, heritage, or occupant needs are missed. Good assessment evidence lets the coordinator decide the project risk path, brief designers properly, and produce a practical improvement plan for the home.
Certification and testing
How assessors are normally certified and tested
Learners usually work toward a Level 3 Retrofit Assessor qualification and then operate through a recognised retrofit assessor scheme. Where an energy report is needed, DEA/RdSAP competence and scheme rules can also be relevant, because the energy evidence has to be produced consistently with the current methodology and scheme requirements.
Assessment is normally a mix of knowledge checks and practical evidence: understanding PAS 2035 duties, carrying out dwelling surveys, preparing condition and occupancy evidence, recording limitations, and producing reports that can be audited by a coordinator or scheme.

PAS 2035 Principles
This topic anchors the assessor in the PAS 2035 process: why the whole-dwelling approach exists, how roles interact, and how assessor evidence supports later design decisions.
Retrofit Advice
Retrofit advice is about communicating clearly without drifting outside the assessor role. Learners should know how to explain evidence, limitations, and next steps without designing measures prematurely.
Retrofit Standards
This topic connects PAS 2035, PAS 2030, TrustMark expectations, and scheme rules so learners can place assessor work inside the quality framework.
Risk Assessment
Risk assessment asks the assessor to recognise property and project factors that may change the level of evidence, specialist input, or coordinator attention required.
Building Physiology
Building physiology covers how heat, air, moisture, and materials interact. For assessors, the key is spotting evidence that could affect retrofit suitability.
Occupancy Assessment
Occupancy assessment records how people actually use the dwelling. That includes heating patterns, ventilation behaviour, rooms in use, comfort issues, and constraints that may affect a retrofit plan.
Dwelling Appraisal
Dwelling appraisal is the structured view of the property: form, age, construction, services, context, defects, past works, and constraints.
Condition Report
The condition report records existing defects and evidence quality. It protects the project from installing measures over damp, decay, unsafe access, or unsuitable fabric.
