Retrofit assessors visit properties and carry out surveys. These surveys are necessary to inform the decisions about which energy efficiency measures should be installed.
Under the supervision of a retrofit coordinator, their work involves assessing the condition, occupancy and significance of the building in line with sector guidance.
All learners successfully passing the assessments will be recommended for a Level 4 Award in Domestic Retrofit Assessment from AIM Qualifications, an Ofqual-regulated awarding body.
As a regulated qualification, the Level 4 Award in Domestic Retrofit Assessment has some specific eligibility criteria. The minimum requirement for all methods of study is a Level 3 Domestic Energy Assessor qualification.
Given the role’s importance, this course is written and overseen by the sector’s most experienced practitioners.
The role involves:
Providing information about the home used by the retrofit designer
Carrying out an appraisal of the dwelling’s heritage and architectural features
Determining the construction and condition of the home, including the building services such as heating, hot water, ventilation and lighting
Identifying constraints on the building that may prevent any energy efficiency measures (EEMs) being installed
Identifying any defects and structural issues, including damp and mould
Identifying any EEMs already installed
Carrying out a measured survey of the building and providing a report
Retrofit assessor is a role for those with good judgement and a sound technical understanding of whole-house retrofit. It’s a senior role with responsibility and this is often reflected in the amount you’re paid.
You will be able to identify where improvements are needed, the appropriate solution given the property’s age and condition, and feel comfortable with several different line reports relying on you for the next steps.
You’ll also need to be capable of writing clear and actionable reports based on the retrofit coordinator’s requirements. This will include a full EPC, ventilation and occupancy assessment, and a condition survey.
