This retrofit project in Petersfield, Hampshire, involved upgrading 80 residential properties with energy-efficient solutions to support Abri’s decarbonisation goals. Keegans worked alongside Solar Installer Blue Electric on behalf of Cardo Group. In alignment with PAS 2035 standards, Keegans provided comprehensive Retrofit Assessment and Coordination services, ensuring photovoltaic (PV) panels, cavity wall insulation, and loft insulation were successfully installed. By integrating sustainable measures, Keegans improved both energy efficiency and tenant comfort.
Keegans expert Retrofit Coordinators followed the structured PAS 2035 process to ensure top-tier retrofit quality and compliance:
'We have had the pleasure of working with Keegans on various projects throughout our Wave 2.1 programme, and the experience has been consistently positive. Our first collaboration in Petersfield set a strong foundation — the team at Keegans took the time to fully understand our requirements and worked closely with us to deliver high‑quality PAS 2035 retrofit across the local area.
During the project we encountered unexpected challenges, including the discovery of bats in a small number of properties. The Keegans’ team demonstrated impressive expertise, providing clear guidance and practical solutions while ensuring full compliance with ecological regulations. Their knowledge and reassurance made what could have been a complex issue feel entirely manageable.
The quality of their work, their responsiveness, and their collaborative approach have been outstanding. We have been so pleased with the service delivered that we have now procured Keegans for Wave 3, and we look forward to continuing our relationship.'
The Petersfield project is a prime example of Keegans commitment to high-quality, compliant retrofit services under PAS 2035. By managing every stage of the retrofit process, Keegans helped Abri enhance the energy efficiency of its properties, supporting sustainability goals and contributing to a more comfortable living environment for tenants. This project demonstrates Keegans expertise in delivering sustainable retrofit solutions that align with broader decarbonisation efforts across the UK.

What are the new PAS2035:2023 qualification requirements for Retrofit Assessors (RAs) and Retrofit Coordinators (RCs)?
Under the updated PAS2035:2023, Level 3 in Energy Efficiency for Older and Traditional Buildings is now a mandatory qualification for both Retrofit Assessors (RAs) and Retrofit Coordinators (RCs) when working with any traditional property. This ensures that professionals are properly trained to handle the unique challenges of retrofitting older and traditional buildings.
What are the key changes in PAS2035:2023 compared to the previous version?
PAS2035:2023 introduces new requirements for risk management, quality control, and energy performance assessments. It emphasises a more holistic approach to retrofitting, including considerations for occupant needs and long-term sustainability.
What does Retrofit mean?
The UK Government has identified the retrofit of buildings as a key lever in their low carbon strategy to achieve 68% carbon reduction by 2030. All affordable homes will be required to achieve a minimum EPC of C by 2030. All ECO funded refurbishment projects are required to achieve full compliance with PAS 2035:2019 from July 2021 with a 20% funding uplift for projects that comply before the deadline.
PAS 2035:2019 (Specification for the Energy Retrofit of Domestic Buildings) is revolutionising the refurbishment of buildings. Over the last 30 years energy efficiency programmes have focussed on single measures (i.e.: cavity wall insulation or window replacement, etc.) but all future programmes now require a holistic solution designed to suit the specific building type.
To comply with PAS 2035, a qualified Retrofit Coordinator must be employed to provide a 'Whole House Retrofit' solution.
