Retrofit is becoming an essential part of delivering safer, more energy-efficient, and sustainable buildings. For surveyors, it offers a practical way to expand services, respond to growing client demand, and stay aligned with evolving industry standards.

To support our Residential and Building Surveying members in developing their knowledge and capability in this area, RICS has partnered with the Retrofit Academy. This collaboration provides a timely opportunity to gain new skills in domestic retrofit while significantly reducing the cost of training.

With 80% government funding available, the Level 4 Award in Domestic Retrofit Assessment forms part of our wider learning portfolio, offering a clear and flexible route to develop your skills.

As a Retrofit Assessor, you’ll play a key role in the UK’s mission to cut carbon emissions by improving energy efficiency in millions of homes. You’ll conduct thorough property assessments aligning with PAS 2035 standards, guiding decisions for energy-efficient upgrades. From quaint cottages to contemporary townhouses, your expertise will be highly sought after.

This course is designed for existing Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs), providing all the retrofit knowledge and skills required by British Standard PAS 2035 to conduct in-depth Retrofit Assessments. The course has been specially developed by The Retrofit Academy in conjunction with Professor Richard Fitton, who is leading on the upcoming standard for Retrofit Assessment BS 40104.
