Retrofit Training What Is It?

Training designed to equip professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to carry out energy-efficient upgrades to existing buildings. This training covers techniques for improving insulation, heating systems, ventilation, and overall energy performance to meet modern efficiency standards.

Steps of Retrofit Training:

Understand Retrofit Basics: Learn key concepts of energy efficiency and sustainability.
Assessment Techniques: Evaluate building conditions and identify improvement areas.
Energy Modeling: Use tools like RdSap for energy performance analysis.
Install Upgrades: Implement insulation, heating, and ventilation improvements.
Regulations and Reporting: Follow codes and prepare performance reports.

Retrofit assessment

A retrofit assessment includes a thorough inspection of your property to determine necessary changes for improved energy efficiency. The assessor will discuss your plans and any constraints related to the work.

Your energy assessor will review the following aspects of your property:

Insulation: Assessing walls, lofts, and floors.
Heating Systems: Evaluating boilers, radiators, and controls.
Windows and Doors: Checking types, conditions, and efficiency.
Ventilation: Inspecting air flow and extraction systems.
Energy Usage: Analyzing current energy consumption and costs.

A Retrofit Assessment What Is It?

A comprehensive evaluation of a property, incorporating the essential elements of an EPC, It includes:

We provide the following services

INSULATION GRANTS

Insulation grants help fund home improvements to reduce energy loss, lowering heating and cooling costs.

HEATING GRANTS

Heating grants help low-income households afford home heating costs during cold months.

SOLAR GRANTS

Solar grants provide funding to support installing solar energy systems, promoting renewable energy use.

What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides an energy efficiency rating (A-G) for a property. This rating covers the property's energy performance, including heating, lighting, and hot water systems. UKEnergyGrants is fully qualified to issue EPCs for domestic properties across Devon, serving homeowners, landlords, and estate agents. EPCs are required when marketing properties for sale or rent and are valid for 10 years unless updated.

Why should I consider obtaining an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a detailed home energy survey that assesses your property's energy efficiency and offers recommendations for improvement. It's legally required when selling, renting, or leasing a property, but it's also useful for homeowners to reduce energy bills and carbon emissions. The EPC assigns an energy rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient) and is valid for 10 years. You can access any property's EPC on the government's website.

Boost Your EPC Rating

Improving your EPC rating increases energy efficiency, cuts energy bills, boosts home comfort, and can raise property value while reducing your carbon footprint.

Upgrade Windows and Doors

Investing in double glazing enhances energy efficiency and reduces noise, contributing to a more comfortable living environment.

Upgrade Wall Insulation

Insulating your home’s cavity or solid walls is essential for improving your EPC rating, no matter what type of walls you have.

Invest in a New Boiler

Boost your energy efficiency by upgrading to a newer, energy-efficient boiler, which will help lower your overall energy consumption.

Harness Solar Power

Install solar panels to create cost-effective, eco-friendly energy for your home, helping to lower your energy bills and support a greener environment.

Optimize Loft Insulation

Thickening your loft insulation to at least 270mm is an easy-to-install and budget-friendly way to make a significant difference in your energy bills.

Efficient Secondary Heating

Opt for a wood-burning stove as an alternative to an open fireplace for a secondary heating source. It provides better fuel efficiency and leads to long-term cost savings.

For Training:

We provide training to qualified Retrofit Assessors and show them how a compliantRetrofit Assessment should be done.We can also provide training for technical surveys associated with solar & insulation

GBIS ECO 4 LA Flex

Frequently Asked Questions.

What's the difference between ECO4 and GBIS?

In early years, the ECO4 scheme targeted those living in homes with low EPC ratings and qualifying benefits, but it excluded those from the least energy-efficient households that don’t receive additional government support. The Great British Insulation Scheme will help hundreds of thousands of homeowners insulate their homes.

Customer Testimonial :

Done this course due to being fairly new to the industry, and wanted to really clarify and make sure my knowledge was adequate. Zish was really helpful in terms of answering any questions needed and offers continued support if ever needed so would highly recommend

Louis Fawsitt

Great experience and a lot of knowledge… Great experience and a lot of knowledge gained. Would definitely recommend!

Angus

I've just returned home from the 1 day Retrofit Assessor training delivered by Zish. I found the content to be very valuable and it was great to be able to ask questions in a practical setting.

Daniel

Excellent service. We needed an EPC and Zish was able to fit us in the next day. Great communication, the inspection for the EPC was thorough and efficient. All details were sent promptly afterwards. Would highly recommend Zish if you are looking for an EPC.
