What information will the occupier need to provide prior and during the inspection?
Approximate age of the property.
Number and age of extensions and any supporting documentation, e.g building regulation plans.

Last 12 months energy bills – gas and electricity.
We ask that this information is ready for the date and time of the visit as these are crucial in helping us make an accurate assessment of the retrofit needs of your property.
We may also have specific information we will need from the coordinator and will notify the homeowner of this in advance of the visit.
How is the Retrofit Assessment carried out?
The Retrofit Assessor inspection involves getting the required information for the energy assessment, condition report and occupancy report:
Energy Assessment:
We will move through the property carrying out measurements of the rooms, walls, windows, doors and photographing the property. The information collected is recorded in detail on the floorplan and will be carried out in all rooms including the roof and loft space internally and externally.
Condition Report:
As we carry out our measurements we will be making notes and recording information about the condition inside and outside of the building from an energy retrofitting perspective. Any issues such as damp, mould, cracks, leaking gutters and roofs are noted, photographed and recorded in the report. Ventilation assessment is important in a retrofitting assessment so we will pay particular attention to things such as bathroom fans, airbricks and windows to see if they are in working order.
Occupancy Assessment:
We interview the occupants to determine the level and extent of energy use in the property and any issues they have with this. We show our clients that the overall assessment could lead to energy and cost savings.
The final report:
Once we have all the data from the site survey and have collected information from the homeowner we head back to the office to carry the calculations required, upload evidence collected, reconcile energy bills and produce the final report using our specialist software. We lodge the final report on the Data Warehouse and upload a copy to the Retrofit Coordinator. It is expected that the coordinator will then liaise with relevant professionals such as a designer to produce a retrofit plan which is best suited to the client’s home.
