UK Optimised Retrofit Compliance

The need for energy efficient housing is becoming increasingly important in the UK as the government strives to meet its target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. This target requires a significant reduction in carbon emissions from buildings, which account for approximately 40% of the UK’s total carbon emissions. Social housing providers are, therefore, under increasing pressure to upgrade their housing stock to make it more energy efficient and sustainable. Retrofitting social housing can help reduce energy bills for tenants, improve living conditions and reduce carbon emissions.

The CHIC Retrofit Compliance DPS has selected partners capable of carrying out the post retrofit evaluation, measurement and audit of all projects that are required to comply with Publicly Available Specification 2035 (PAS 2035). In addition, this DPS provides for compliance auditors, who audit the entire end to end retrofit process to ascertain that the appropriate steps have been completed satisfactorily in the retrofit process.
