Government Updates PAS 2035 and SAP10 Rules

As the UK continues its drive toward net-zero carbon emissions, recent government updates to PAS 2035 and the SAP10 methodology are reshaping the retrofit and green energy landscape. These changes are set to increase demand for qualified Energy Assessors and retrofit professionals – and our green energy training courses are here to help you stay ahead.

🔍 What’s New with PAS 2035 and SAP10?

The updated PAS 2035:2024 now places greater emphasis on holistic, whole-house retrofit strategies. This means:

  • A more rigorous approach to assessing properties before upgrades.

  • Mandatory oversight from qualified Retrofit Coordinators.

  • Clearer definitions of roles across the retrofit process.

Meanwhile, SAP10, the latest version of the Standard Assessment Procedure used to measure a home’s energy performance, has become a legal requirement for many new projects. SAP10 introduces more accurate calculations around energy use, carbon emissions, and renewable technologies — placing Energy Assessors at the heart of compliance and project delivery.

🏡 What This Means for Professionals

These updates signal a major shift toward quality and accountability in the retrofit industry. From housing associations to private developers, everyone must now ensure projects meet the latest standards — and that begins with having properly trained professionals on board.
