PAS 2035 retrofit standard, deep energy renovation, fabric-first approach, ventilation strategy, MVHR, UK ECO4, and the EU Renovation Wave delivery framework — for the engineers and coordinators who deliver retrofits at scale.
8 lessons taking you from fundamentals through to working application — written for engineers and decision-makers, not students.
Why this course exists. Deep retrofit is the only path to EU 2050 climate-neutral building stock. The Renovation Wave targets 35M renovations by 2030. UK ECO4, France's Décret Tertiaire, and EPBD MEPS for non-residential are all converging on the same problem. This course gives you the delivery framework.
Who it's for. Retrofit coordinators (PAS 2035), M&E retrofit designers, asset managers running deep retrofit programmes, and policy / funding teams designing retrofit-at-scale schemes.
How it's written. Eight lessons grounded in PAS 2035, PAS 2030, and EU Renovation Wave delivery. With cross-border programme funding, embodied-carbon trade-offs, and dutyholder documentation requirements.
Read in order, or jump to the lesson you need. Each lesson stands alone but the course flows from foundation to application.
Fabric-first principles, retrofit pathway development, sequencing of interventions.
PAS 2035:2023 — UK whole-house retrofit standard, retrofit assessor and coordinator roles.
PAS 2030:2023 — installer competency, quality control, trustmark integration.
EPBD recast Article 9 — MEPS for non-residential, worst 16% by 2030, 26% by 2033.
Décret Tertiaire — France's mature MEPS framework, OPERAT reporting, lessons learned.
Embodied carbon trade-offs in retrofit — when reuse beats new build.
Retrofit Coordinator role — risk assessment, design, monitoring, technical guidance.
Public sector retrofit programmes, EU Renovation Wave funding, UK Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Structured to support self-certified CPD logging. Each lesson provides clear learning objectives, technical content, knowledge checks, and downloadable evidence — the four elements UK chartered bodies recognise for self-certified CPD entries.
Eight outcomes. Read the course end-to-end and you’ll be able to act on each one without looking up the standard.
Apply fabric-first sequencing to any retrofit project.
Implement PAS 2035 / 2030 the UK whole-house standard + installer scheme.
Map EPBD MEPS for non-residential — worst 16% by 2030.
Compare France's Décret Tertiaire as the mature MEPS model.
Trade off embodied carbon in retrofit decisions, not just operational.
Run a retrofit coordinator role with documentation that holds up under audit.
Navigate funding / procurement ECO4, BUS, EU LIFE, cross-border programmes.
Sequence ventilation MVHR with airtightness — the failure mode of fabric-only retrofit.
