Retrofit Assessors play a vital role in the pursuit of energy-efficient homes that prioritise reducing carbon emissions. They assess existing structures and work closely with homeowners and Retrofit Coordinators to develop strategies for elevating energy efficiency.

Going beyond mere financial savings and enhanced living spaces, what distinguishes this profession is the chance to actively contribute to a profoundly meaningful cause—a sustainable future centred around comfort, financial responsibility, and a reduced environmental footprint.

How Does Retrofit Assessment Work?

Scheduling

A retrofit project begins with the collaboration between a Retrofit Assessor and a Retrofit Coordinator. Once a project is underway, the Assessor schedules an assessment with the homeowner to undertake a retrofit assessment.

Assessment

The assessment includes the following:

Working with the Retrofit Coordinator

Once all of this data has been collected, the Retrofit Assessor collates the information and the information is shared with the Retrofit Coordinator. The Retrofit Coordinator will take this forward and create an improvement option evaluation and a medium-term plan designed to enhance the dwelling’s efficiency and, ultimately, benefit the homeowner.

The Impact of Retrofit Assessors

Through their expertise, Retrofit Assessors facilitate recommendations that not only benefit the environment but also significantly improve the quality of life for homeowners. Reduced energy consumption translates to lower utility costs, ensuring a healthier financial future for the people in our communities. 

This profession extends beyond physical evaluations; it’s about building connections and sharing knowledge. Retrofit Assessors play a pivotal role in educating clients about the transformative benefits of energy-efficient upgrades. By illustrating how these changes lead to long-term savings for both homeowners and the environment, Assessors become catalysts for positive change.
