  1. Social landlords are required to undertake retrofit measures to homes using PAS:2035 2030:2023 Specification for the energy retrofit of domestic buildings. Lodgement with TrustMark is strongly recommended, with the intention of this being a requirement in the near future.
     
  2. Social landlords are required to install Environmental Sensors compliant with, ‘Optimised Retrofit Programme: environmental and energy monitoring’.

    Landlords are encouraged to include in their applications installation Environmental Sensors only to homes that will form future retrofit programmes (such ORP 3 2024/25) to create pre-retrofit data to support choice of measures for homes.
     
  3. Social landlords are required to use existing information and focussed survey data to develop a Whole Stock Assessment for their homes.

    Social landlords should produce a Target Energy Pathway for each home undertaking retrofit measures in ORP, setting out how that home will ultimately achieve targeted levels of affordable warmth and decarbonisation.

    To note – further guidance will be sent on what is required for both the Whole Stock Assessment and the Target Energy Pathway in due course.
