Retrofit Assessor

Role Overview:
The Retrofit Assessor is at the heart of energy efficiency and retrofit projects, ensuring that each property is thoroughly assessed to pave the way for impactful, tailored solutions. This role involves evaluating properties’ energy performance, gathering detailed data on structures, systems, and occupant behaviours, and producing comprehensive reports to guide retrofit initiatives. By adhering to PAS 2035 standards, the Retrofit Assessor ensures each project is both compliant and effective.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Comprehensive Property Assessments

* Conduct detailed evaluations of properties, analysing energy use, building structure, and systems such as heating, insulation, and ventilation.

* Utilise industry-standard tools like RdSAP (Reduced Data Standard Assessment Procedure) to accurately assess energy efficiency.

* Engage with property occupants to understand energy usage habits and behaviours, creating a holistic view of energy consumption patterns.

2. Preparation of Specialist Reports

* Develop an Energy Report outlining energy systems, current performance, and opportunities for improvement.

* Create an Occupancy Report based on resident interviews, offering insights into energy consumption behaviours.

* Produce a Condition Report highlighting structural or maintenance issues affecting energy efficiency.

3. Ventilation and Heritage Considerations

* Assess existing ventilation systems to determine compliance with standards or recommend necessary upgrades.

* For heritage or traditional properties, perform a Significance Survey to ensure retrofit measures respect historical, architectural, and cultural values.

4. Collaboration with Project Teams

* Partner with Retrofit Coordinators, Project Designers, and installation teams to translate assessment data into actionable project plans.

* Provide detailed input to support the development of improvement evaluations and medium-term retrofit strategies.

5. Compliance and Data Management

* Maintain meticulous records using MEG software, ensuring all findings and documentation are accessible and accurate.

6. Customer Engagement

* Clearly explain the assessment process and its benefits to property owners and occupants.

* Address customer questions and guide them through the retrofit journey, fostering trust and understanding.

7. Reporting and Documentation

* Compile thorough reports that summarize findings and recommendations, including opportunities for improvement and energy-saving measures.

* Record and upload all data, photos, and reports into the MEG system to support project planning and implementation.

Key Tasks at a Glance:

* Conduct detailed property energy and condition assessments.

* Prepare Energy, Occupancy, and Condition Reports in line with PAS 2035 requirements.

* Collaborate with retrofit teams to ensure seamless project planning and execution.

* Engage with customers to provide clarity and support throughout the retrofit process.

* Uphold compliance and maintain accurate records across all assessments.

Collaboration Highlights:

* Retrofit Coordinators: Share assessment findings to support project design and planning.

* Project Designers: Offer insights that inform technical specifications for energy improvements.

* Installation Teams: Provide relevant information to facilitate accurate implementation of retrofit measures.
